Formation and Evolution Simulations of Saturn, Including Composition Gradients and Helium Immiscibility

In this paper, the formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of accreting planetesimals, composed of water ice, rock, and iron, in the gaseous envelope of the planet, le...
