Jupiter-like uniform metal enrichment in a system of multiple giant exoplanets
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jerry W. Xuan, Yayaati Chachan +15
The accretion of icy and rocky solids during the formation of a gas giant planet is poorly constrained and challenging to model. Refractory species, like sulfur, are only present i…
