New insights on Saturn's formation from its nitrogen isotopic composition
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Leigh N. Fletcher +4
The recent derivation of a lower limit for the N/N ratio in Saturn's ammonia, which is found to be consistent with the Jovian value, prompted us to revise models of S…
The measured compositions of Uranus and Neptune from their formation on the CO iceline
M. Ali-Dib, O. Mousis, J. -M. Petit +1
The formation mechanisms of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, and the origin of their elemental and isotopic compositions, have long been debated. The density of solids in the out…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
Carbon-rich planet formation in a solar composition disk
Mohamad Ali-Dib, Olivier Mousis, Jean-Marc Petit +1
The C--to--O ratio is a crucial determinant of the chemical properties of planets. The recent observation of WASP 12b, a giant planet with a C/O value larger than that estimated fo…
