Fortney, Jonathan J., Zahnle, Kevin, Baraffe, Isabelle, Burrows, Adam, Dodson-Robinson, Sarah E., Chabrier, Gilles, ...
The determination of Saturn's atmospheric noble gas abundances are critical to understanding the formation and evolution of Saturn, and giant planets in general. These measurements can only be...
Detecting the Wind-Driven Shapes of Extrasolar Giant Planets from Transit Photometry (2009)
Barnes, Jason W., Cooper, Curtis S., Showman, Adam P., Hubbard, William B.
Several processes can cause the shape of an extrasolar giant planet's shadow, as viewed in transit, to depart from circular. In addition to rotational effects, cloud formation, non-homogenous haze...
Commission 53: Extrasolar Planets (2008)
Mayor, Michel, Boss, Alan P., Butler, Paul R., Hubbard, William B., Ianna, Philip A., Kürster, Martin, ...
Commission 53 on Extrasolar Planets was created at the 2006 Prague General Assembly of the IAU, in recognition of the outburst of astronomical progress in the field of extrasolar planet discovery,...
Militzer, Burkhard, Hubbard, William B.
This work uses density functional molecular dynamics simulations of fluid helium at high pressure to examine how shock wave experiments with precompressed samples can help characterizing the interior...
Working Group on Extrasolar Planets (2007)
Boss, Alan P., Butler, R. Paul, Hubbard, William B., Ianna, Philip A., Kürster, Martin, Lissauer, Jack J., ...
The Working Group on Extrasolar Planets (hereafter the WGESP) was created at a meeting of the IAU Executive Council in 1999 as a Working Group of IAU Division III and was renewed for three more years...
A Theory for the Radius of the Transiting Giant Planet HD 209458b (2003)
Burrows, Adam, Sudarsky, David, Hubbard, William B.
Using a full frequency-dependent atmosphere code that can incorporate irradiation by a central primary star, we calculate self-consistent boundary conditions for the evolution of the radius of the...
Phase Separation in Giant Planets: Inhomogeneous Evolution of Saturn (2003)
Fortney, Jonathan J., Hubbard, William B.
We present the first models of Jupiter and Saturn to couple their evolution to both a radiative-atmosphere grid and to high-pressure phase diagrams of hydrogen with helium and other admixtures. We...
New Constraints on the Composition of Jupiter from Galileo Measurements and Interior Models (1997)
Guillot, Tristan, Gautier, Daniel, Hubbard, William B.
Using the helium abundance measured by Galileo in the atmosphere of Jupiter and interior models reproducing the observed external gravitational field, we derive new constraints on the composition and...
