Giant Planets
arXiv:1405.3752 · doi:10.1016/B978-0-444-53802-4.00176-7
Abstract
We review the interior structure and evolution of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and giant exoplanets with particular emphasis on constraining their global composition. Compared to the first edition of this review, we provide a new discussion of the atmospheric compositions of the solar system giant planets, we discuss the discovery of oscillations of Jupiter and Saturn, the significant improvements in our understanding of the behavior of material at high pressures and the consequences for interior and evolution models. We place the giant planets in our Solar System in context with the trends seen for exoplanets.
This chapter is to be published in the second edition of the Treatise on Geophysics (Eds. T. Spohn, G. Schubert). 42 pages, 16 figures. Accepted 25 February 2014
