Tidal dissipation in giant planets
Tidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins,
and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system, tidal dissipation in the planet …

Rotation reduces convective mixing in Jupiter and other gas giants
Recent measurements of Jupiter's gravitational moments by the Juno spacecraft and
seismology of Saturn's rings suggest that the primordial composition gradients in the deep …

Can Jupiter's Atmospheric Metallicity Be Different from the Deep Interior?
Updated formation and structure models of Jupiter predict a metal-poor envelope. This is at
odds with the two to three times solar metallicity measured by the Galileo probe …

Evolution of Semiconvective Staircases in Rotating Flows: Consequences for Fuzzy Cores in Giant Planets
Recent observational constraints on the internal structure of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that
these planets have" fuzzy" cores, ie, gradients of the concentration of heavy elements that …

Dwindling Surface Cooling of a Rotating Jovian Planet Leads to a Convection Zone That Grows to a Finite Depth
BW Hindman, JR Fuentes - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent measurements of Jupiter's gravitational field (by Juno) and seismology of Saturn's
rings (by Cassini) strongly suggest that both planets have a stably stratified core that still …

The interior of Uranus-Thermal profile, bulk composition, and the distribution of rock, water, and hydrogen and helium
We present improved empirical density profiles of Uranus and interpret them in terms of their
temperature and composition using a new random algorithm. The algorithm to determine the …

Convective mixing in gas giant planets with primordial composition gradients
Linking atmospheric measurements to the bulk planetary composition and ultimately the
planetary origin is a key objective in planetary science. In this work, we identify the cases in …

Stochastic excitation of waves in magnetic stars-I. Scaling laws for the mode amplitudes
Context. Stellar oscillations are key to unravelling stellar properties, such as their mass,
radius, and age. This in turn enables us to date and characterize their exoplanetary systems …

Stable stratification of the helium rain layer yields vastly different interiors and magnetic fields for Jupiter and Saturn
At sufficiently high pressures (∼ Mbar) and low temperatures (∼ 10 3–10 4 K), hydrogen
and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter's and Saturn's magnetic …
