Using\nthe same general theory, we show that the three recently detected hot-Neptune\nplanets (GJ436, $ho$ Cancri, $\\mu$ Ara) may originate from more massive gas\ngiants which have undergone significant evaporation. We thus suggest that\nhot-Neptunes and hot-Jupiters may share the same ...
should easily form around solar-type stars through the core-accretion mechanism8,9,10and that the final semi-major axis distribution should be a consequence of the position of the ice line9, only partially modified by migration11. Jupiter-like planets should therefore be common. On the other h...
each product is different. Sometimes, the reason for a specific size was based on a fundamental factor. For example, the contract size of RBOB Gasoline futures (/RB) is 42,000 gallons, which makes sense because a barrel of crude oil is typically refined into 42 gallons of gas. Because ...
"We wanted to extend, for the first time, the calculations for the formation of water-rich moons around gas giants beyond the Jupiter mass regime," said lead author René Heller, a postdoctoral fellow in astrophysics at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. Get the Space.com Newsletter Breaki...
