cds-question@unistra.frastronomical-modelsstellar-atmospheresexoplanetsAtmospheric characterization through spectroscopic analysis, an essential tool of modern exoplanet science, can benefit significantly from the context provided by the interior structure models. In particular, the planet's bulk metallicity, Zp, places an upper limit on the potential atmospheric metallicity. Here we construct interior structure models to derive Zp and atmospheric metallicity upper limits for 403 known transiting giant exoplanets. These limits are low enough that they can usefully inform atmosphere models. Additionally, we argue that comparing Zp to the observed atmospheric metallicity gives a useful measure of how well mixed metals are within the planet. This represents a new avenue for learning about planetary interiors. To aid in the future characterization of new planet discoveries we derive analytic prior predictions of atmosphere metallicity as a function of planet mass, and evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on Jupiter and Saturn. We include log-linear fits for approximating the metallicities of planets not in our catalog.2019ApJ...874L..31Thttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/874/L31CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/709/159 : Relative Ic photometry of WASP-17 (Anderson+, 2010)J/A+A/531/A40 : Transits of WASP-39b (Faedi+, 2011)J/ApJ/728/138 : Follow-up photometry of HAT-P-26 (Hartman+, 2011)J/A+A/542/A4 : WASP-43b thirty eclipses (Gillon+, 2012)J/MNRAS/426/1338 : Transiting planetary system WASP-17 (Southworth+, 2012)J/A+A/549/A134 : 4 new WASP transiting close-in giant planets (Hebrard+, 2013)J/ApJ/809/77 : Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (Sullivan+, 2015)J/ApJ/831/64 : Mass-metallicity relation for giant planets (Thorngren+, 2016)J/ApJS/239/2 : Simulated exoplanets from TESS targets (Barclay+, 2018)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/874/L31GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/874/L31/table1 (Planetary parameters, orbital parameters, and derived quantites of the planets modeled)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/874/L31/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/874/L31/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/874/L31/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true102.079885-3.10214170.0055555555555555566/340 437 790 876 913 1066 1275 1292 2250 2297 2308 2532 2551 2584 2596 2711 2715 2740 2953 3344 3876 4145 4241 4269 4271 4272 4280 4521 4624 4632 4730 5170 5475 5730 6017 6058 6181 6381 6539 6638 7036 7208 7240 7502 8197 8237 8825 8992 9173 9355 9482 9524 9811 10118 10407 10654 10701 10730 10953 11455 12342 12398 12424 12644 12853 12862 12983 13044 13143 13250 13439 13569 13680 13702 14555 14567 14583 14591 14735 14746 14753 14757 14762 14763 14768 14772 14777 14779 14816 14825 14826 14828 14886 14914 14920 14923 14924 14925 14929 14938 14940 14942 14945 14961 14963 14969 14971 14973 15029 15040 15105 15107 15109 15110 15121 15122 15126 15129 15139 15140 15141 15143 15145 15158 15159 15162 15169 15174 15218 15550 15950 16405 16432 16512 16534 16947 17040 17162 17172 17202 17226 17227 17344 17430 17753 17819 17851 17865 18093 18208 18223 18452 18510 18569 18696 18766 18943 19160 19371 19442 20186 20339 20382 20453 20455 20501 20565 20648 20659 20682 20741 20780 20790 20872 21026 21079 21176 21461 21876 22001 22034 22040 22065 22078 22079 22120 22168 22169 22396 22505 22519 22816 22963 24039 24057 24115 24122 24205 24409 24428 24622 24752 24815 24858 24981 25132 25140 25153 25283 25427 25433 25604 25699 25721 25725 25794 25885 25950 26019 26062 26771 26990 26992 27056 27324 27488 27548 27780 28433 28548 28821 28822 29002 29012 29017 29022 30009 30013 30157 30240 30241 30295 30344 30436 30444 30447 30450 30451 30456 30466 30734 30801 31541 31641 31813 32217 32564 32640 32659 32727 32748 32749 33200 33210 33220 33283 33719 33723 33798 34260 34370 34471 34526 34566 34708 34751 34755 34812 34847 34848 34860 34898 34940 34957 35210 35993 36142 36165 36196 36197 36497 36667 36794 37246 37247 37329 37923 38233 38452 38682 39007 39487 39512 39542 39667 39673 39812 39826 39829 39851 40014 40022 40189 40194 40320 40862 40864 41578 42001 42865 42936 42989 43180 43233 43247 43257 43336 43432 43541 43544 43586 43625 43656 43775 43960 44200 44335 44436 44471 44648 44672 44685 45041 45051 45380 45766 45855 45890 45922 46121 46316 46421 46429 46437 46873 47000 47167 47186 47307 47330 47456 47476 47681 48005 48076 48111 48114 48117 48165 48178 48251 48327 48338 48353 48358 48415 48501 48727 48729 48747 48803 48945 49103https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/874/L31?format=asciidefaultJ/ApJ/874/L31/table1Planetary parameters, orbital parameters, and derived quantites of the planets modeledSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
