Dust cloud lightning in extraterrestrial atmospheres [PDF]

, 2012
Lightning is present in all solar system planets which form clouds in their atmospheres. Cloud formation outside our solar system is possible in objects with much higher temperatures than on Earth or on Jupiter: Brown dwarfs and giant extrasolar gas ...

Review: A Coherent and Comprehensive Model of the Evolution of the Outer Solar System [PDF]

, 2010
Since the discovery of the first extra-solar planets, we are confronted with the puzzling diversity of planetary systems. Processes like planet radial migration in gas-disks and planetary orbital instabilities, often invoked to explain the exotic orbits ...

Separating gas-giant and ice-giant planets by halting pebble accretion [PDF]

, 2014
In the Solar System giant planets come in two flavours: 'gas giants' (Jupiter and Saturn) with massive gas envelopes and 'ice giants' (Uranus and Neptune) with much thinner envelopes around their cores.

Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present updated atmospheric tables suitable for calculating the post-formation evolution and cooling of Jupiter and Jupiter-like exoplanets. These tables are generated using a 1D radiative transfer modeling code that incorporates the latest opacities ...

Rapid Formation of Icy Super-Earths and the Cores of Gas Giant Planets [PDF]

, 2008
We describe a coagulation model that leads to the rapid formation of super-Earths and the cores of gas giant planets. Interaction of collision fragments with the gaseous disk is the crucial element of this model.

The role of the initial surface density profiles of the disc on giant planet formation: comparing with observations [PDF]

, 2003
In order to explain the main characteristics of the observed population of extrasolar planets and the giant planets in the Solar System, we need to get a clear understanding of which are the initial conditions that allowed their formation. To this end we

Chemical signatures of planets: beyond solar-twins [PDF]

, 2013
Elemental abundance studies of solar twin stars suggest that the solar chemical composition contains signatures of the formation of terrestrial planets in the solar system, namely small but significant depletions of the refractory elements.

Dependencies of Mantle Shock Heating in Pairwise Accretion

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
The final assembly of planets involves mutual collisions of large similar-sized protoplanets (“giant impacts”), setting the stage for modern geologic and atmospheric processes.

The McDonald Observatory Planet Search: New Long-Period Giant Planets, and Two Interacting Jupiters in the HD 155358 System [PDF]

, 2012
We present high-precision radial velocity (RV) observations of four solar-type (F7-G5) stars - HD 79498, HD 155358, HD 197037, and HD 220773 - taken as part of the McDonald Observatory Planet Search Program.

Vesta and Ceres: crossing the history of the Solar System

, 2011
The evolution of the Solar System can be schematically divided into three different phases: the Solar Nebula, the Primordial Solar System and the Modern Solar System.
