The mass of gas giant planets: Is Saturn a failed gas giant?

R Helled - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
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⊕ …

The Molecular Composition of Shadowed Proto-solar Disk Midplanes Beyond the Water Snowline

S Notsu, K Ohno, T Ueda, C Walsh… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The disk midplane temperature is potentially affected by the dust traps/rings. The dust
depletion beyond the water snowline will cast a shadow. In this study, we adopt a detailed …

Dynamo simulations of Jupiter's magnetic field: The role of stable stratification and a dilute core

KM Moore, A Barik, S Stanley… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding Jupiter's present‐day interior structure and dynamics is key to constraining
planetary accretion models. In particular, the extent of stable stratification (ie, non …

Constraining the atmospheric elements in hot Jupiters with Ariel

Can Jupiter's Atmospheric Metallicity Be Different from the Deep Interior?

S Müller, R Helled - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Updated formation and structure models of Jupiter predict a metal-poor envelope. This is at
odds with the two to three times solar metallicity measured by the Galileo probe …

The exploration of carbon-to-oxygen ratios has yielded intriguing insights into the
composition of close-in giant exoplanets, giving rise to a distinct classification: carbon-rich …

Early stages of Galilean moon formation in a water-depleted environment

O Mousis, A Schneeberger, JI Lunine… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A key feature of the Galilean satellite system is its monotonic decrease in bulk density with
growing distance from Jupiter, indicating an ice mass fraction that is zero in the innermost …

Heavy-element accretion by proto-Jupiter in a massive planetesimal disc, revisited

S Shibata, R Helled, H Kobayashi - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Planetesimal accretion is a key source for heavy-element enrichment in giant planets. It has
been suggested that Jupiter's enriched envelope is a result of planetesimal accretion during …
