New Concept: Extrasolar gaseous planets #328

Closed stlibrary8 closed 3 years ago

stlibrary8 commented 3 years ago

Extrasolar gaseous planets

A concept more broad than Extrasolar gas giants, which is being proposed as a child term. Exoplanet researchers suggested too much uncertainty to state and compare all gas planets to gas giants in Exo community.

Proposed hierarchy: Exoplanet astronomy-->Exoplanets-->Extrasolar gaseous planets (with NPT: Extrasolar gas planets)--> Extrasolar gaseous giants (with NPT: Extrasolar gas giants).

Provides same broad concept as "Extrasolar rocky planets" which is not defined by size but by composition (and then perhaps by size in future).

2020AAS...23523802L 2019AAS...23310505M List bibcodes or other identifiers for articles that support the need for this new concept in the literature.

Related to ST keyword enhancements.
