Usually, a value of 0.01 solar masses is taken to be the “minimum mass” (Boss, 1990). The strongest constraint on the value is the abundance of heavy elements in Jupiter and Saturn. This is at least partially independent of the uncertainty of whether these elements are hosted in ...
asteroid massesLagrangian pointsThe total mass of the Jupiter Trojans is estimated at (0.30 ± 0.19) × 10–10 M Sun using all available physical characteristics of these asteroids. The mass of asteroids in the L4 swarm ((0.19 ± 0.11) × 10–10 M Sun) is higher than that in the L5 ...
Reduction of the Mass of the Main Asteroid Belt and the Mars Zone due to Solar Radiation and the Influence of Jupiter—II: Scenario of the Evolution of the... — The mass deficit of the asteroid belt and Mars zone is a major problem. The asteroid belt mass loss is usually discussed, ...
In our universe, this mass scale is roughly comparable to that of Jupiter. Significantly, since α≪1 in our universe, and we expect α≲1 more generally, planets supported by electromagnetic forces have smaller masses than their host stars. The mass scale of the cosmological horizon at the...
A Jupiter-mass companion to a solar-type star The presence of a Jupiter-mass companion to the star 51 Pegasi is inferred from observations of periodic variations in the star's radial velocity. The comp... M Mayor,D Queloz - 《Nature》 被引量: 3499发表: 0年 The Lick Planet Search: ...
Numerous studies have used or suggested a definition based on an object's mass, taking the similar to 13 Jupiter mass (M-J) limit for the ignition of deuterium. Here, we investigate various deuterium-burning masses for a range of models. We find that, while 13 M-J is generally a ...
The formation history of giant planets inside and outside the Solar System remains unknown. We suggest that runaway gas accretion is initiated only at a mass of ∼100 <italic>M</italic>⊕ and that this mass corresponds to the transition to a
if the earth weighs 6.59+21 ton then; The sun radiated a mass equivelent to 90.41 earths over it's 4 billion year life or .0003 current solar masses or .28 Jupiter masses over it's four billion year life. Interesting; 4 billion years star burn = Half of a Nova?
Jupiter in turn is around 1,000 times greater in mass than our planet, the Earth which has a mass of around 1.3 × 1025 lbs (5.9 x 1024 kgs). Clearly, the sun dominates the planets in terms of mass, but what about other stars? Can our star retain its dominance beyond the solar sy...
