Jupiter formed as a pebble pile around the N2 ice line
@article{Bosman2019JupiterFA, title={Jupiter formed as a pebble pile around the N2 ice line}, author={Arthur D. Bosman and Alex J. Cridland and Yamila Miguel}, journal={Astronomy \& Astrophysics}, year={2019} }
Context. The region around the H2O ice line, due to its higher surface density, seems to be the ideal location to form planets. The core of Jupiter, as well as the cores of close-in gas giants are therefore thought to form in this region of the disk. Nevertheless, constraining the formation location of individual planets has proven to be difficult.
Aims. We aim to use the nitrogen abundance in Jupiter, which is around four times solar, in combination with Juno constraints on the total mass of…

It is shown that argon, krypton and xenon in Jupiter's atmosphere are enriched to the same extent as the other heavy elements, which suggests that the planetesimals carrying these elements must have formed at temperatures lower than predicted by present models of giant-planet formation.
