On the Correlation between Metallicity and the Presence of Giant Planets
The correlation between stellar metallicity and the presence of giant planets is well established. It has been tentatively explained by the possible increase of planet formation probability in stellar disks with enhanced amount of metals. However, there are two caveats to this explanation. First, giant stars with planets do not show a metallicity distribution skewed towards metal-rich objects, ...
متن کاملGiant Planets
We review the interior structure and evolution of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and extrasolar giant planets with particular emphasis on constraining their global composition.
متن کاملA link between the semimajor axis of extrasolar gas giant planets and stellar metallicity
The fact that most extrasolar planets found to date are orbiting metal-rich stars lends credence to the core accretion mechanism of gas giant planet formation over its competitor, the disk instability mechanism. However, the core accretion mechanism is not refined to the point of explaining orbital parameters such as their unexpected semimajor axes and eccentricities. We propose a model, which ...
متن کاملFormation of Giant Planets
The observed properties of giant planets, models of their evolution and observations of protoplanetary disks provide constraints on the formation of gas giant planets. The four largest planets in our Solar System contain considerable quantities of hydrogen and helium; these gasses could not have condensed into solid planetesimals within the protoplanetary disk. Jupiter and Saturn are mostly hyd...
متن کاملAbsence of a Metallicity Effect for Ultra-short-period Planets
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are a newly recognized class of planets with periods shorter than one day, and radii smaller than about 2 R⊕. It has been proposed that USP planets are the solid cores of hot Jupiters that lost their gaseous envelopes due to photo-evaporation or Roche lobe overflow. We test this hypothesis by asking whether USP planets are associated with metal-rich stars, as ha...
