In the core accretion model, giant planets are assumed to form around a growing core of condensible materials. As this core grows, it attracts an envelope of gas and dust from the surrounding nebula. Up to the so-called critical core mass, this evolution is quasi static. By studying all allowed equilibria that are the progenitors of mature planets, we could make predictions about the formation of giant planets. Using the relative frequency of progenitor states, the mass spectrum, we could show that Pegasi planets are likely to evolve quasi-hydrostatically all the way, no dynamic phase has to occur as in the case of Jovian planets. Furthermore, we were able to give a possible explanation for the large core of the transiting planet HD 149026-b.
