Giant 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 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 کاملAtmospheres of Extrasolar Giant Planets
The key to understanding an extrasolar giant planet’s spectrum–and hence its detectability and evolution–lies with its atmosphere. Now that direct observations of thermal emission from extrasolar giant planets are in hand, atmosphere models can be used to constrain atmospheric composition, thermal structure, and ultimately the formation and evolution of detected planets. We review the important...
متن کاملFormation of the Giant Planets?
Observational constraints on interior models of the giant planets indicate that these planets were all much hotter when they formed and they all have rock and/or ice cores of ten to thirty earth masses. These cores are probably soluble in the envelopes above, especially in Jupiter and Saturn, and are therefore likely to be primordial. They persist despite the continual upward mixing by thermall...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Giant Planets
As a whole this dissertation aims to understand giant planets as an entire class of astronomical objects. Initially we investigate the mechanics and evolutionary effects of phase separation in the deep interiors of giant planets. We present the first models of Saturn and Jupiter to couple their evolution to both a radiativeatmosphere grid and to high-pressure phase diagrams of hydrogen with hel...
