ORCHARD: A General Planetary Evolution Code
Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Adam Burrows, Ankan Sur +1
We present \texttt{ORCHARD}, a publicly available planetary evolution code based on the gas giant evolution code, \texttt{APPLE}, capable of modeling the evolution and structures o…
Sub-Neptune Memories I: Implications of Inefficient Mantle Cooling and Silicate Rain
Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Akash Gupta, Adam Burrows +3
We explore the evolution of sub-Neptune (radii between 1.5 and 4 R) exoplanet interior structures using our upgraded evolution code, \texttt{APPLE}, which self-consi…
Saturn's Evolutionary History and Seismology: Survival of Deep Stably Stratified Regions in Evolutionary Models of Saturn Consistent with Ring Seismology
Yubo Su, Janosz W. Dewberry, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +2
With recent advances in the modeling of the solar system giant planets, rapid progress has been made in understanding the remaining questions pertaining to their formation and evol…
Next-Generation Improvements in Giant Exoplanet Evolutionary and Structural Models
Ankan Sur, Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Adam Burrows +1
Many evolutionary models of giant exoplanets still rely on simplifying assumptions that are no longer adequate given detailed constraints from Jupiter, Saturn, and modern exoplanet…
The Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn as a function of the Parameter R
Ankan Sur, Adam Burrows, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +1
Computed using the APPLE planetary evolution code, we present updated evolutionary models for Jupiter and Saturn that incorporate helium rain, non-adiabatic thermal structures, and…
