A Systematic Study of the Final Masses of Gas Giant Planets
T. Tanigawa, M. Ikoma
We construct an analytic model for the rate of gas accretion onto a planet embedded in a protoplanetary disk as a function of planetary mass, disk viscosity, disk scale height, and…

On the Origin of HD149026b
M. Ikoma, T. Guillot, H. Genda +2
The high density of the close-in extrasolar planet HD149026b suggests the presence of a huge core in the planet, which challenges planet formation theory. We first derive constrain…

Constraints on the mass of a habitable planet with water of nebular origin
Masahiro Ikoma, Hidenori Genda
From an astrobiological point of view, special attention has been paid to the probability of habitable planets in extrasolar systems. The purpose of this study is to constrain a po…
