The Interior Structure, Composition, and Evolution ofáGiant Planets

JJ Fortney, N Nettelmann - Space Science Reviews, 2010 - Springer
We discuss our current understanding of the interior structure and thermal evolution of giant
planets. This includes the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, that are primarily …

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert

DJ Armstrong, TA Lopez, V Adibekyan, RA Booth… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar
System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of planetary …

Planetary radii across five orders of magnitude in mass and stellar insolation: application to transits

JJ Fortney, MS Marley, JW Barnes - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
To aid in the physical interpretation of planetary radii constrained through observations of
transiting planets, or eventually direct detections, we compute model radii of pure hydrogen …

Structure and evolution of super-Earth to super-Jupiter exoplanets-I. Heavy element enrichment in the interior

I Baraffe, G Chabrier, T Barman - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 - aanda.org
Aims. We examine the uncertainties in current planetary models and quantify their impact on
the planet cooling histories and mass-radius relationships. Methods. These uncertainties …

Confirmation of Subsolar Metallicity for WASP-77Ab from JWST Thermal Emission Spectroscopy

PC August, JL Bean, M Zhang, J Lunine… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the dayside thermal emission spectrum of WASP-77Ab from 2.8 to 5.2 μm as
observed with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) …

The heavy-element masses of extrasolar giant planets, revealed

N Miller, JJ Fortney - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a population of transiting planets that receive relatively modest stellar
insolation, indicating equilibrium temperatures< 1000 K, and for which the heating …

The origin of the high metallicity of close-in giant exoplanets-Combined effects of resonant and aerodynamic shepherding

S Shibata, R Helled, M Ikoma - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Recent studies suggest that in comparison to their host star, many giant exoplanets
are highly enriched with heavy elements and can contain several tens of Earth masses of …

[图书][B] Treatise on geophysics

G Schubert - 2015 - books.google.com
Treatise on Geophysics, Second Edition, Eleven Volume Set is a comprehensive and in-
depth study of the physics of the Earth beyond what any geophysics text has provided …

The 8 μm phase variation of the hot Saturn HD 149026b

HA Knutson, D Charbonneau, NB Cowan… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We monitor the star HD 149026 and its Saturn-mass planet at 8.0 μm over slightly more than
half an orbit using the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We find an …

Giant planets from the inside-out

T Guillot, LN Fletcher, R Helled, M Ikoma… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Giant planets acquire gas, ices and rocks during the early formation stages of planetary
systems and thus inform us on the formation process itself. Proceeding from inside out …
