Planetesimal Compositions in Exoplanet Systems
Torrence V. Johnson, Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine +1
We have used recent surveys of the composition of exoplanet host stars to investigate the expected composition of condensed material in planetesimals formed beyond the snow line in…
Nebular water depletion as the cause of Jupiter's low oxygen abundance
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Nikku Madhusudhan +1
Motivated by recent spectroscopic observations suggesting that atmospheres of some extrasolar giant-planets are carbon-rich, i.e. carbon/oxygen ratio (C/O) 1, we find that th…
Carbon-rich Giant Planets: Atmospheric Chemistry, Thermal Inversions, Spectra, and Formation conditions
Nikku Madhusudhan, Olivier Mousis, Torrence V. Johnson +1
The recent inference of a carbon-rich atmosphere, with C/O >= 1, in the hot Jupiter WASP-12b motivates the exotic new class of carbon-rich planets (CRPs). We report a detailed stud…
Jovian Dust Streams: A monitor of Io's volcanic plume activity
Harald Krueger, Paul Geissler, Mihaly Horanyi +7
Streams of high speed dust particles originate from Jupiter's innermost Galilean moon Io. After release from Io, the particles collect electric charges in the Io plasma torus, gain…
