A Resonant Beginning for the Solar System’s Terrestrial Planets
In the past two decades, transit surveys have revealed a class of planets with thick atmospheres—sub-Neptunes—that must have completed their accretion in protoplanet disks.

The stability of short-period extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
A three-dimensional coupled thermosphere-ionosphere model for extrasolar giant planets (EXOTIM) has been developed. This is the first such model reported in the literature.

Isotopic ratios D/H and ¹⁵ N/¹⁴N in giant planets [PDF]
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 ...

Oleoscopicity and Organic Deliquescence of Hydrophobic Compounds Under a Hydrocarbon Atmosphere
Hydrophobic compounds can acquire hydrocarbon vapor from organic‐enriched atmospheres and may deliquesce by dissolving completely in the acquired solvent. We report trends in oleoscopicity for a variety of organic compounds under an atmosphere of n‐hexane as a model hydrocarbon solvent. ABSTRACT This paper examines the acquisition of organic solvent by

In the standard formation models of terrestrial planets in the solar system and close-in super-Earths in nonresonant orbits recently discovered by exoplanet observations, planets are formed by giant impacts of protoplanets or planetary embryos after the ...

Dependencies of Mantle Shock Heating in Pairwise Accretion
The final assembly of planets involves mutual collisions of large similar-sized protoplanets (“giant impacts”), setting the stage for modern geologic and atmospheric processes.

ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Chemical and Dynamical Processes in the Atmospheres of I. Ancient and Present-Day Earth, II. Jupiter and Galileo Satellite, III. Extrasolar “Hot Jupiters” [PDF]
When exposed to stellar UV radiation, chemical processes will be governed not only by temperature/pressure but also the spectrum of the incoming dissociative photon flux; the system will approach kinetic, or photochemical, equilibrium, instead of ...

The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic data for 17 solar-like stars hosting ...

Recent advances in the interior structure of the gas giants
Jupiter and Saturn, as the gas giants of our solar system, account for over 90% of the total mass beyond the Sun and hold most of the system's angular momentum, playing a crucial role in the early history of the solar system.
