Self-Consistent Evolution Models Show Weak Double-Diffusive Mixing in Jupiter and Saturn
J. R. Fuentes, Ankan Sur, David J. Stevenson +1
Double-diffusive convection in the ``fuzzy'' cores of giant planets has been widely discussed as a mechanism for redistributing heavy elements, but its efficiency in evolutionary m…
Formation and Evolution Simulations of Saturn, Including Composition Gradients and Helium Immiscibility
Peter Bodenheimer, David J. Stevenson, Jack J. Lissauer +1
The formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of…
Planet Formation by Gas-Assisted Accretion of Small Solids
Gennaro D'Angelo, Peter Bodenheimer
We compute the accretion efficiency of small solids, with radii 1 cm Rs 10 m, on planets embedded in gaseous disks. Planets have masses 3 Mp 20 Earth masses…
Uranus and Neptune as methane planets: producing icy giants from refractory planetesimals
Uri Malamud, Morris Podolak, Joshua Podolak +1
Uranus and Neptune are commonly considered ice giants, and it is often assumed that, in addition to a solar mix of hydrogen and helium, they contain roughly twice as much water as…
Mixing of Condensable Constituents with H-He During the Formation & Evolution of Jupiter
David Stevenson, Peter Bodenheimer, Jack J. Lissauer +1
Simulations of Jupiter's formation are presented that incorporate mixing of H-He with denser material entering the planet as solids. Heavy compounds and gas mix substantially when…
Models of the in situ formation of detected extrasolar giant planets
Peter Bodenheimer, Olenka Hubickyj, Jack J. Lissauer
(Abridged) We present numerical simulations of the formation of the planetary companions to 47 UMa, rho CrB, and 51 Peg. They are assumed to have formed in situ according to the ba…
