Origins Space Telescope Mission Concept Study Report
M. Meixner, A. Cooray, D. Leisawitz +66
The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) traces our cosmic history, from the formation of the first galaxies and the rise of metals to the development of habitable worlds and present-…
Evidence for a Dichotomy in the Interior Structures of Jupiter and Saturn from Helium Phase Separation
Christopher R. Mankovich, Jonathan J. Fortney
We examine the comparative thermal evolution of Jupiter and Saturn applying recent theoretical results for helium's immiscibility in fluid metallic hydrogen. The redistribution of…
Saturn's Probable Interior: An Exploration of Saturn's Potential Interior Density Structures
Naor Movshovitz, Jonathan J. Fortney, Chris Mankovich +2
The gravity field of a giant planet is typically our best window into its interior structure and composition. Through comparison of a model planet's calculated gravitational potent…
Do Metal-Rich Stars Make Metal-Rich Planets? New Insights on Giant Planet Formation from Host Star Abundances
Johanna K. Teske, Daniel Thorngren, Jonathan J. Fortney +2
The relationship between the compositions of giant planets and their host stars is of fundamental interest in understanding planet formation. The solar system giant planets are enh…
Detecting and Characterizing Water Vapor in the Atmospheres of Earth Analogs through Observation of the 0.94 Micron Feature in Reflected Light
Adam J. R. W. Smith, Y. Katherina Feng, Jonathan J. Fortney +4
The characterization of rocky, Earth-like planets is an important goal for future large ground- and space-based telescopes. In support of developing an efficient observational stra…
The Featureless Transmission Spectra of Two Super-Puff Planets
Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson, Jean-Michel Desert +9
The Kepler mission revealed a class of planets known as ''super-puffs,'' with masses only a few times larger than Earth's but radii larger than Neptune, giving them very low mean d…
