Existence of The Closed Magnetic Field Lines Crossing The Coronal Hole Boundaries

Guan-Han Huang, Chia-Hsien Lin, Lou-Chuang Lee

Coronal holes (CHs) are regions with unbalanced magnetic flux, and have been associated with open magnetic field (OMF) structures. However, it has been reported that some CHs do no…

Analysis of core-mantle boundary seismic waves using full\-waveform modelling and adjoint methods

Maria Koroni, Anselme Borgeaud, Andreas Fichtner +1

Using spectral-element and adjoint methods, we investigate body waves interacting with the Earth's most dramatic interface, the core-mantle boundary (CMB). Intermediate-to-high fre…

The Tidal-Thermal Evolution of the Pluto-Charon System

Amirhossein Bagheri, Amir Khan, Frederic Deschamps +3

Existence of subsurface oceans on the satellites of the giant planets and Trans-Neptunian objects has been predicted for some time. Oceans on icy worlds exert a considerable influe…

Heat-blanketed convection and its implications for the continental lithosphere

Kenny Vilella, Frederic Deschamps

Earth's continents are characterized by a strong enrichment in long-lived radioactive isotopes. Recent estimates suggest that they contribute to 33\% of the heat released at the su…

Constraints on the composition and temperature of LLSVPs from seismic properties of lower mantle minerals

Kenny Vilella, Thomas Bodin, Charles-Edouard Boukaré +4

Here, we provide a reappraisal of potential LLSVPs compositions based on an improved mineralogical model including, for instance, the effects of alumina. We also systematically inv…
