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…
On the Radii of Close-in Giant Planets
A. Burrows, T. Guillot, W. B. Hubbard +4
The recent discovery that the close-in extrasolar giant planet, HD209458b, transits its star has provided a first-of-its-kind measurement of the planet's radius and mass. In additi…
Model Bond albedos of extrasolar giant planets
Christopher R. Gelino, M. Marley, D. Stephens +2
The atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets are modeled with various effective temperatures and gravities, with and without clouds. Bond albedos are computed by calculating the rat…
Comparative Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn
W. B. Hubbard, T. Guillot, M. S. Marley +3
We present evolutionary sequences for Jupiter and Saturn, based on new nongray model atmospheres, which take into account the evolution of the solar luminosity and partitioning of…
A Theory of Extrasolar Giant Planets
D. Saumon, W. B. Hubbard, A. Burrows +3
We present a broad suite of models of extrasolar giant planets (EGP's), ranging in mass from 0.3 to 15 Jupiter masses. The models predict luminosity (both reflected and emitted) as…
Prospects for Detection of Extra-Solar Giant Planets by Next-Generation Telescopes
A. Burrows, D. Saumon, T. Guillot +2
Interest among astronomers in the detection of extra-solar planets is accelerating with the growing realization that it may soon be technically feasible. The ongoing renaissance in…
