The rise and fall of the giant planet occurrence rate – Dr Heather Fenwick Johnston, University of Exeter Giant planets like Jupiter play a key role in shaping the architecture of planetary systems. However, they comprise only a tiny fraction of the 5,000+ exoplanets known today. Giant planets are found most frequently around stars 1.7 times as massive as the Sun, and the occurrence rate drops to zero around stars 2.5 times as massive as our Sun. Dr Heather’s talk will explore how giant planets form, why they are special, and the rise and fall of the giant planet occurrence rate. |
