Resizing the giants: How modelling adiabatic interiors impacts predicted planetary radii
Simon Müller, Ravit Helled
The interiors of giant planets are commonly assumed to be convective and adiabatic, making the adiabatic temperature gradient a key ingredient in interior and evolution models. Mul…
Deep radiative zones affect giant planet cooling and internal structure: Implications for exoplanet characterisation
Simon Müller, Ravit Helled
The radiative opacity plays a critical role in shaping the thermal evolution and interior structure of giant planets. Near 2,000 K, a hydrogen-transparency region creates a…
TOI-2374 b and TOI-3071 b: two metal-rich sub-Saturns well within the Neptunian desert
Alejandro Hacker, Rodrigo F. Díaz, David J. Armstrong +40
We report the discovery of two transiting planets detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), TOI-2374 b and TOI-3071 b, orbiting a K5V and an F8V star, respectiv…
Discovery of a cold giant planet and mass measurement of a hot super-Earth in the multi-planetary system WASP-132
N. Grieves, F. Bouchy, D. J. Armstrong +25
Hot Jupiters generally do not have nearby planet companions, as they may have cleared out other planets during their inward migration from more distant orbits. This gives evidence…
