The compositions of the HR 8799 planets reflect accretion of both solids and metal-enriched gas
Jerry W. Xuan, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Yayaati Chachan +24
With four giant planets (, $T_\rm{eff}\sim900-1200$ K) orbiting between 15-70 au, HR 8799 provides an unparalleled testbed for studying giant planet formatio…
Evidence for a Peak at 0.3 in the Eccentricity Distribution of Typical Super-Jovian Exoplanets
Sarah Blunt, Jason Wang, Ruth Murray-Clay +3
In this study, we compute completeness-corrected occurrence rates of giant exoplanets as a function of mass, semimajor axis, and eccentricity, using the approximately uniform Calif…
Efficiency of Hydrodynamic Atmospheric Escape in Hot Jupiters and Super Earths
Renata Frelikh, Ruth A. Murray-Clay
We develop a flexible one-dimensional code to model the escape of hydrogen and helium from a hot Jupiter as a result of photoionization from extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. We…
Wind-AE: A Fast, Open-source 1D Photoevaporation Code with Metal and Multi-frequency X-ray Capabilities
Madelyn Broome, Ruth Murray-Clay, John McCann +1
Throughout their lives, short period exoplanets (<100 days) experience X-ray and extreme-UV (XUV) stellar irradiation that can heat and photoionize planets' upper atmospheres, driv…
Understanding the Origins of Super-Puff Planets: A New Mass-Loss Regime Coupled to Planetary Evolution
Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Ruth Murray-Clay +1
Super-puffs are a class of low-mass, large-radius planets that have challenged planet formation and evolution models. Their high inferred H/He mass fractions, required to explain t…
Revising the Giant Planet Mass-Metallicity Relation: Deciphering the Formation Sequence of Giant Planets
Yayaati Chachan, Jonathan J. Fortney, Kazumasa Ohno +2
The rate at which giant planets accumulate solids and gas is a critical component of planet formation models, yet it is extremely challenging to predict from first principles. Char…
