On the mass of gas giant planets: Is Saturn a failed gas giant? [PDF]
, 2023 The formation history of giant planets inside and outside the solar system remains unknown. We suggest that runaway gas accretion is initiated only at a mass of ~100 M_Earth and that this mass corresponds to the transition to a gas giant, a planet that ...

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
, 2011 PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the

Microlensing search for extra solar planets [PDF]
, 2015 Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event.

Giant planet formation in the solar system [PDF]
The formation history of Jupiter has been of interest due to its ability to shape the solar system's history. Yet little attention has been paid to the formation and growth of Saturn and the other giant planets.

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.

Changes in the metallicity of gas giant planets due to pebble accretion
, 2018 We run numerical simulations to study the accretion of gas and dust grains on to gas giant planets embedded into massive protoplanetary discs. The outcome is found to depend on the disc cooling rate, planet mass, grain size, and irradiative feedback from

Isotopic ratios D/H and ¹⁵ N/¹⁴N in giant planets [PDF]
, 2017 The determination of isotopic ratios in planets is important since it allows us to investigate the origins and initial composition of materials. The present work aims to determine the possible range of values for isotopic ratios D/H and ¹⁵N/¹⁴N in giant ...
