Elemental abundances and minimum mass of heavy elements in the envelope of HD 189733b
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Giovanna Tinetti +4
Oxygen (O) and carbon (C) have been inferred recently to be subsolar in abundance from spectra of the atmosphere of the transiting hot Jupiter HD 189733b. Yet, the mass and radius…
Bulk composition of the transiting hot Neptune around GJ 436
P. Figueira, F. Pont, C. Mordasini +3
The hot Neptune orbiting around GJ 436 is a unique example of an intermediate mass planet. Its close-in orbit suggests that the planet has undergone migration and its study is fund…
Extrasolar planet population synthesis II: Statistical comparison with observation
Christoph Mordasini, Yann Alibert, Willy Benz +1
This is the second paper in a series of papers showing the results of extrasolar planet population synthesis calculations. In the companion paper (Paper I), we have presented in de…
Extrasolar planet population synthesis I: Method, formation tracks and mass-distance distribution
Christoph Mordasini, Yann Alibert, Willy Benz
With the high number of extrasolar planets discovered by now, it becomes possible to constrain theoretical formation models in a statistical sense. This paper is the first in a ser…
