SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION OF WATER, METHANE, AND CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF EXOPLANET HR 8799 b (2015, background): “Even for Jupiter and Saturn only upper limits on carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) have been measured, a poignant reminder of how challenging such measurements can be (Wong et al. 2004; Visscher & Fegley 2005).”
Formation of Giant Planets (2004, background): “Jupiter and Saturn are substantially enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun (e.g., Wong et al. 2004; Hersant et al. 2008), and some observed extrasolar giant planets too appear to have super-stellar metallicities (e.g., Sato et al. 2005; Miller and Fortney 2011; Jordán et al. 2014).”

A PRECISE WATER ABUNDANCE MEASUREMENT FOR THE HOT JUPITER WASP-43b (2014, background): “The Galileo probe mass spectrometer entered Jupiter’s atmosphere and provided a direct measurement of the water abundance, but found a surprisingly small value (0.29±0.10× solar) which contrasts with the 2−5× solar enhancement of most other volatile species (Wong et al. 2004).”
Astrochemistry and compositions of planetary systems (2020, background): “In our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn appear to be enriched in both C and N with values above that of the proto-Sun (Wong et al. 2004; Atreya et al. 2020).”
Atmospheric Chemistry in Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Low-Mass Dwarf Stars. II. Sulfur and Phosphorus (2005, background): “This should efficiently remove H2S from the gas because NH3/H2S ∼ 7.5± 3.4 in Jupiter’s atmosphere (Wong et al. 2004).”
New Models of Jupiter in the Context of Juno and Galileo (2019, background): “Later on, Galileo provided new constraints on Jupiter’s outer layers composition (von Zahn et al. (1998) for helium and Wong et al. (2004) for the reanalysed results of the heavy elements).”
Dynamics and Disequilibrium Carbon Chemistry in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres, with Application to HD 209458b (2006, background): “This is a much greater metal abundance than is seen on Jupiter, which has enrichment of carbon and nitrogen by a factor of∼3 relative to the Sun (from Galileo probe measurements; the probe was not successful in measuring the abundance of oxygen—see Wong et al. 2004).”
GASEOUS MEAN OPACITIES FOR GIANT PLANET AND ULTRACOOL DWARF ATMOSPHERES OVER A RANGE OF METALLICITIES AND TEMPERATURES (2014, background): “For reference, Jupiter’s atmosphere is approximately 3-5× solar (Wong et al. 2004), Saturn’s atmosphere is enhanced in methane by a factor of ∼ 10 (Flasar et al. 2005), and Uranus and Neptune in methane by a factor to∼50 (Guillot & Gautier 2009).”
The Interior Structure, Composition, and Evolution of Giant Planets (2009, background): “As stated in § 2.3, the real O abundance xO in Jupiter might be much higher than the measured value of 30% of the solar value due to condensation of water above 20 bar, where the Galileo probe stopped working (Wong et al. 2004).”
THE MASS–METALLICITY RELATION FOR GIANT PLANETS (2015, background): “Assuming that gas accretion through the gap becomes inefficient for Δ/RH=fS∼5 (Lissauer et al. 2009; Kratter et al. 2010), a planet mass Mp set by gap truncation implies the disk viscosity parameter (Shakura & Sunyaev 1973; Armitage 2011) ( ) * a p = - ⎜ ⎟⎛⎝ ⎞ ⎠ f f M M H r .”
Global Climate and Atmospheric Composition of the Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-103b from HST and Spitzer Phase Curve Observations (2018, background): “We infer a range in metallicity of 23+29−13× solar, somewhat higher than expected based on Jupiter’s metal enrichment (3 − 5× solar; Wong et al. 2004) and the trend toward decreasing metallicity with increasing planet mass observed for the Solar System and exoplanets (e.g. Kreidberg et al. 2014a).”
