Ross 458c: Gas Giant or Brown Dwarf?
William W. Meynardie, Michael R. Meyer, Ryan J. MacDonald +10
Ross 458c is a widely separated planetary mass companion at a distance of 1100 AU from its host binary, Ross 458AB. It is a member of a class of very low-mass companions at distanc…
Super-adiabatic Temperature Gradient at Jupiter's Equatorial Zone and Implications for the Water Abundance
Cheng Li, Michael Allison, Sushil Atreya +12
The temperature structure of a giant planet was traditionally thought to be an adiabat assuming convective mixing homogenizes entropy. The only in-situ measurement made by the Gali…
Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: Upper Limits the Gas Mass in HD105
D. Hollenbach, U. Gorti, M. Meyer +13
We report infrared spectroscopic observations of HD 105, a nearby ( pc) and relatively young ( Myr) G0 star with excess infrared continuum emission, which has bee…
The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way
D. P. Bennett, I. Bond, E. Cheng +21
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own sol…
Orbital migration and the frequency of giant planet formation
David E. Trilling, Jonathan I. Lunine, Willy Benz
We present a statistical study of the post-formation migration of giant planets in a range of initial disk conditions. For given initial conditions we model the evolution of giant…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: SIRTF Legacy Science in the VLT Era
M. R. Meyer, D. Backman, S. V. W. Beckwith +20
We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at (1) defining the timescales ov…
