On the possibility of enrichment and differentiation in gas giants during birth by disk instability
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 November 2011
Abstract
We investigate the coupling between solids and gas during the formation of gas giant planets by disk fragmentation in the outer regions of massive disks. We find that fragments can become differentiated at birth. Even if an entire clump does not survive, differentiation could create solids cores that survive to accrete gaseous envelopes later.
