The formation of planetary systems: physics, populations, and architectures
Andrin Kessler, Jesse Weder, Jesse Polman +5
We review the progresses made in global theoretical models of planetary system formation in the last decade using the example of the planetary system formation framework known as t…
Mapping the SO2 Shoreline in Gas Giant Exoplanets
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Jonathan Brande +8
JWST has revealed sulfur chemistry in giant exoplanet atmospheres, where molecules such as SO2 trace photochemistry, metallicity, and formation and migration. To ascertain the cond…
On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34
Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…
Convective mixing in distant and close-in giant planets -- Dependences on the initial composition, luminosity, bloating and semi-convection
Jesse Polman, Christoph Mordasini
Recent structure models of Jupiter suggest the existence of an extended region in the deep interior with a high heavy element abundance, referred to as a dilute core. This finding…
