Dynamics and Disequilibrium Carbon Chemistry in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres, with Application to HD 209458b (2006, background): “…of the solar abundances, especially C, N, and O, have undergone minor modifications in the past seven years, some of which are still under discussion within the scientific community (Grevesse & Sauval 1998; Mahaffy et al. 2000; Allende Prieto et al. 2001, 2002; Lodders 2003; Asplund et al. 2006).”
Ab Initio Equation of State Data for Hydrogen, Helium, and Water and the Internal Structure of Jupiter (2007, unknown): “Choosing threefold enrichment in heavy elements in accordance with measurements (Atreya et al. 2003; Mahaffy et al. 2000) for the molecular envelope, an enrichment of 7.5 times solar was required in the metallic envelope to match J2, in total 35 M .”
The Interior Structure, Composition, and Evolution of Giant Planets (2009, background): “The first is that O atoms are as abundant as the species C, N, S and Ar, Kr, Xe, i.e. 2− 4 × solar (Mahaffy et al. 2000), and the second is a mass fraction equivalent of 1× solar ≃1.9%.”
Jupiter Formed with More Tar than Ice (2004, methodology): “…Probe Mass Spectrometer measured the content of noble gases, hydrogen, carbon (as CH4), nitrogen (as NH3), oxygen (as H2O), sulfur (as H2S), and other minor constituents in Jupiter’s atmosphere down to a pressure of 20 bars (Niemann et al. 1998; Mahaffy et al. 2000; Atreya et al. 1999, 2003).”
Composition and origin of the atmosphere of Jupiter—an update, and implications for the extrasolar giant planets (2003, methodology): “We recently derived a 15N=14N ratio of (2:3±0:3)×10−3 from measurements of the ratio the GPMS signals produced by the doubly charged ammonia species 15NH 3 and 14NH 3 (Owen et al., 2001; Maha*y et al., 2000).”
Atmospheric Chemistry in Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Low-Mass Dwarf Stars: I. Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen (2002, background): “Abundances with [Fe/H] = +0.5 (equivalent to ∼3.2 times solar values) are appropriate for Jupiter, where recent Galileo Probe results show heavy element enrichments of about three times the solar value (e.g., Niemann et al., 1998, Mahaffy et al. 2000).”
