Six decades of spiral density wave theory

FH Shu - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The theory of spiral density waves had its origin approximately six decades ago in an
attempt to reconcile the winding dilemma of material spiral arms in flattened disk galaxies …

A diffuse core in Saturn revealed by ring seismology

CR Mankovich, J Fuller - Nature Astronomy, 2021 - nature.com

First-principles equation of state database for warm dense matter computation

B Militzer, F González-Cataldo, S Zhang, KP Driver… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We put together a first-principles equation of state (FPEOS) database for matter at extreme
conditions by combining results from path integral Monte Carlo and density functional …

Resonance locking as the source of rapid tidal migration in the Jupiter and Saturn moon systems

J Fuller, J Luan, E Quataert - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The inner moons of Jupiter and Saturn migrate outwards due to tidal energy dissipation
within the planets, the details of which remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that …
