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 ...

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.

Atmospheric Circulation of Exoplanets [PDF]

, 2009
We survey the basic principles of atmospheric dynamics relevant to explaining existing and future observations of exoplanets, both gas giant and terrestrial.

Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem

, 2004
Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the planet's gravitation dominates solar perturbations (the Hill sphere).

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.

The limits of simulating gas giant entry at true gas composition and true flight velocities in an expansion tube [PDF]

, 2014
Due to high entry velocities when entering gas giant planets in the solar system (20-50 km/s), simulating gas giant entry in ground testing facilities is a complex problem.

Debris Disks: Probing Planet Formation

, 2018
Debris disks are the dust disks found around ~20% of nearby main sequence stars in far-IR surveys. They can be considered as descendants of protoplanetary disks or components of planetary systems, providing valuable information on circumstellar disk ...

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

Extent of pollution in planet-bearing stars

, 2008
(abridged) Search for planets around main-sequence (MS) stars more massive than the Sun is hindered by their hot and rapidly spinning atmospheres. This obstacle has been sidestepped by radial-velocity surveys of those stars on their post-MS evolutionary ...
