A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo [PDF]

, 2014
Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar System1. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to those that take place during the formation of planetary systems and galaxies.

The Library of Exoplanet Atmospheric Composition Measurements: Population-level Trends in Exoplanet Composition with ExoComp

The Astronomical Journal
The present-day bulk elemental composition of an exoplanet can provide insight into a planet’s formation and evolutionary history. Such information is now being measured for dozens of planets with state-of-the-art facilities using Bayesian atmosphere ...

THE ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN PLANET SEARCH. XXI. A GAS-GIANT PLANET IN A ONE YEAR ORBIT AND THE HABITABILITY OF GAS-GIANT SATELLITES [PDF]

, 2011
We have detected the Doppler signature of a gas-giant exoplanet orbiting the star HD 38283, in an eccentric orbit with a period of almost exactly one year (P = 363.2 ± 1.6 d, m sin i = 0.34 ± 0.02 M Jup, e = 0.41 ± 0.16).

Equations of State, Thermodynamics, and Miscibility Curves for Jovian Planet and Giant Exoplanet Evolutionary Models

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The equation of state of hydrogen–helium (H–He) mixtures plays a vital role in the evolution and structure of gas giant planets and exoplanets. Recent equations of state that account for H–He interactions, coupled with H–He immiscibility curves, can now ...

A Search for Wide-orbit Planets around M Dwarfs Using Deep MIRI 15 μm Images

The Astronomical Journal
Wide-orbit (>10 au) gas-giant planets shape the architecture of planetary systems, yet their occurrence rate remains poorly constrained. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has obtained the deepest mid-infrared images of nearby stars to date through ...

From planetesimals to planets with N-body simulations in the giant-planet formation region

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The cores of wide-orbit giant planets can form via pebble accretion if large planetesimals form in the outer regions of protoplanetary discs at sufficiently early times.

Detailed Calculations of the Efficiency of Planetesimal Accretion in the Core-accretion Model. III. The Contribution of Planetesimals beyond Saturn

The Astrophysical Journal
Continuing our initiative on advancing the calculations of planetesimal accretion in the core-accretion model, we present here the results of our recent study of the contributions of planetesimals around and beyond the orbit of Saturn.

Late-infall-induced formation of giant planets, multigenerational planetesimals, and disk substructures

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Late infall can replenish the building materials of planets in protoplanetary disks and dramatically alter their structural evolution. The resulting pressure bumps effectively accumulate dust, facilitate grain coagulation, and trigger planetesimal ...

A Possible Mechanism to Explain the Prograde Equatorial Jet of a Jupiter-like Gaseous Giant

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Gaseous giants are characterized by their deep atmospheres, which lack clear boundaries with their interiors; therefore, their internal states could directly influence atmospheric dynamics. So far, most modeling studies have considered deep convection as

Evolution of Semiconvective Staircases in Rotating Flows: Consequences for Fuzzy Cores in Giant Planets

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent observational constraints on the internal structure of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that these planets have “fuzzy” cores, i.e., gradients of the concentration of heavy elements that might span a large fraction of the planet’s radius.
