The convective envelopes of solar-type stars and the convective cores of intermediate-and
high-mass stars share boundaries with stable radiative zones. Through a host of processes …

The observed radii distribution of Kepler exoplanets reveals two distinct populations: those
that are more likely to be terrestrials (≲ 1.7R⊕) and those that are more likely to be gas …

Most stars host convection zones in which heat is transported directly by fluid motion, but the
behavior of convective boundaries is not well-understood. Here, we present 3D numerical …

Stellar evolution models calculate convective boundaries using either the Schwarzschild or
Ledoux criterion, but confusion remains regarding which criterion to use. Here we present a …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In one-dimensional (1D) evolution models of gas giant planets, an outer convection zone
advances into the interior as the surface cools, and multiple convective layers form beneath …

In the quest to understand the basic universal features of compressible convection, one
would like to disentangle genuine consequences of compression from spatial variations of …

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 …
