Effects of mass loss for highly-irradiated giant planets
W. B. Hubbard, M. F. Hattori, A. Burrows +2
We present calculations for the evolution and surviving mass of highly-irradiated extrasolar giant planets (EGPs) at orbital semimajor axes ranging from 0.023 to 0.057 AU using a g…
New Ideas in the Theory of Extrasolar Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs
Adam Burrows, W. B. Hubbard, J. I. Lunine +2
We summarize and extend recent work on the theory of extrasolar giant planets (EGPs) and brown dwarfs, paying particular attention to Gliese 229 B, the albedos of EGPs, the composi…
The Spectral Character of Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs
A. Burrows, M. Marley, W. B. Hubbard +6
Since October of 1995, employing Doppler spectroscopy astronomers have discovered as many as 20 giant planets and brown dwarfs, including companions to Boo, 51 Peg, …
Advances in the Theory of Extrasolar Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs
A. Burrows, D. Sudarsky, C. Sharp +6
We have developed a new non-gray theory of the evolution, spectra, and colors of extrasolar giant planets (EGPs) and brown dwarfs that reveals their exotic nature and uniqueness. W…
