| Abstract | Jupiter’s early formation in the Solar System is thought to have influenced how the inner, rocky planets formed, particularly their complement of non-rocky materials like water and light gases. If we see sculpting effects of giant planets on their sibling planets in a statistical sample of planetary systems around other stars, it will teach us about planet formation in general and set the context for understanding our own place in the universe. This project will use spectroscopy to track the mot |
