Abstract

An understanding of the structure and composition of the gas giants (e.g., Jupiter and Saturn), terrestrial exoplanets, and stars is intimately tied to our understanding of the equation of state (EOS) of the elements and compounds that make up these astronomical bodies. An EOS is a mathematical relationship that describes the state of matter (i.e., gas, liquid, or solid) using the material properties of temperature, volume, pressure, and internal energy. The EOS characterizes the properties of a state of matter under a given set of physical conditions. Finally, in addition to constraining the composition of planets and stars, accurate EOS models are important for describing astrophysical impacts (and for designing ways to steer asteroids for planetary defense) and for modeling the performance and predicting the effects of projectiles and explosives.

Frontiers of the Physics of Dense Plasmas and Planetary Interiors: Experiment, Theory, Applications

Journal Article Fortney, J J ; Glenzer, S H ; Koenig, M ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We review recent developments of dynamic x-ray characterization experiments of dense matter, with particular emphasis on conditions relevant to interiors of terrestrial and gas giant planets. These studies include characterization of compressed states of matter in light elements by x-ray scattering and imaging of shocked iron by radiography. We examine several applications of this work. These include the structure of massive 'Super Earth' terrestrial planets around other stars, the 40 known extrasolar gas giants with measured masses and radii, and Jupiter itself, which serves as our benchmark for giant planets. We are now in an era of dramatic improvement inmore »« less

LDRD ER Final Report: Recreating Planetary Cores in the Laboratory: New Techniques to Extremely High Density States

Technical Report Collins, G ; Celliers, P ; Hicks, D ; ...

An accurate equation of state (EOS) for planetary constituents at extreme conditions is the key to any credible model of planets or low mass stars. However, very few materials have their high pressure (>few Mbar) EOS experimentally validated, and even then, only on the principal Hugoniot. For planetary and stellar interiors, compression occurs from gravitational force so that material states follow a line of isotropic compression (ignoring phase separation) to ultra-high densities. An example of the hydrogen phase space composing Jupiter and one particular Brown Dwarf is shown. At extreme densities, material states are predicted to have quite unearthly propertiesmore »« less

A COLD NEPTUNE-MASS PLANET OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb: COLD NEPTUNES ARE COMMON

Journal Article Sumi, T ; Abe, F ; Fukui, A - Astrophysical Journal

We present the discovery of a Neptune-mass planet OGLE-2007-BLG-368Lb with a planet-star mass ratio of q = [9.5 +- 2.1] x 10{sup -5} via gravitational microlensing. The planetary deviation was detected in real-time thanks to the high cadence of the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics survey, real-time light-curve monitoring and intensive follow-up observations. A Bayesian analysis returns the stellar mass and distance at M{sub l} = 0.64{sup +0.21}{sub -0.26} M{sub sun} and D{sub l} = 5.9{sup +0.9}{sub -1.4} kpc, respectively, so the mass and separation of the planet are M{sub p} = 20{sup +7}{sub -8} M{sub +} and a = 3.3{supmore »« less

The Feasibility of Directly Imaging Nearby Cold Jovian Planets with MIRI/JWST

Journal Article Brande, Jonathan ; Barclay, Thomas ; Schlieder, Joshua E. ; ... - Astronomical Journal (New York, N.Y. Online)

The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will dramatically increase our understanding of exoplanets, particularly through direct imaging. Microlensing and radial velocity surveys indicate that some M dwarfs host long-period giant planets. Some of these planets will likely be just a few parsecs away and a few astronomical units from their host stars, a parameter space that cannot be probed by existing high-contrast imagers. We studied whether the coronagraphs on the Mid-infrared Instrument on JWST can detect Jovian-type planets around nearby M dwarfs. For a sample of 27 very nearby M dwarfs, we simulated a sample ofmore »« less

THE ASTEROID BELT AS A RELIC FROM A CHAOTIC EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM

Journal Article Izidoro, André ; Raymond, Sean N. ; Pierens, Arnaud ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The orbital structure of the asteroid belt holds a record of the solar system’s dynamical history. The current belt only contains ∼10{sup −3} Earth masses yet the asteroids’ orbits are dynamically excited, with a large spread in eccentricity and inclination. In the context of models of terrestrial planet formation, the belt may have been excited by Jupiter’s orbital migration. The terrestrial planets can also be reproduced without invoking a migrating Jupiter; however, as it requires a severe mass deficit beyond Earth’s orbit, this model systematically under-excites the asteroid belt. Here we show that the orbits of the asteroids may havemore »« less
