Explaining the low luminosity of Uranus: A self-consistent thermal and structural evolution
A. Vazan, R. Helled
The low luminosity of Uranus is a long-standing challenge in planetary science. Simple adiabatic models are inconsistent with the measured luminosity, which indicates that Uranus i…

Constraining the initial planetary population in the gravitational instability model
Jack Humphries, Allona Vazan, Mariangela Bonavita +2
Direct imaging (DI) surveys suggest that gas giants beyond 20 AU are rare around FGK stars. However, it is not clear what this means for the formation frequency of Gravitational In…

Convection and Mixing in Giant Planet Evolution
Allona Vazan, Ravit Helled, Attay Kovetz +1
The primordial internal structures of gas giant planets are unknown. Often giant planets are modeled under the assumption that they are adiabatic, convective, and homogeneously mix…
