Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our Solar System. Given this fact, and ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their …
The best constraints on the internal structures of giant planets have historically originated from measurements of their gravity fields,–. These data are inherently mostly sensitive to a …

We study the relationship of zonal gravity coefficients, J 2n, zonal winds, and axial moment of inertia (MoI) by constructing models for the interiors of giant planets. We employ the …
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos—the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just …
Understanding Jupiter's present‐day interior structure and dynamics is key to constraining planetary accretion models. In particular, the extent of stable stratification (ie, non …
The fluid dynamics planet Saturn gives rise to alternating east–west jet streams, large cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices, and a dipole-dominant magnetic field that is highly …
