Grain opacity and the bulk composition of extrasolar planets. II. An analytical model for the grain opacity in protoplanetary atmospheres
C. Mordasini
Context. We investigate the grain opacity k_gr in the atmosphere of protoplanets. This is important for the planetary mass-radius relation since k_gr affects the H/He envelope mass…

Grain opacity and the bulk composition of extrasolar planets. I. Results from scaling the ISM opacity
C. Mordasini, H. Klahr, Y. Alibert +2
The opacity due to grains in the envelope of a protoplanet regulates the accretion rate of gas during formation, thus the final bulk composition of planets with primordial H/He is…

Planet Population Synthesis
W. Benz, S. Ida, Y. Alibert +2
With the increasing number of exoplanets discovered, statistical properties of the population as a whole become unique constraints on planet formation models provided a link betwee…
