Tidal Response and Shape of Hot Jupiters
Sean M. Wahl, Daniel Thorngren, Tiger Lu +1
We study the response of hot Jupiters to a static tidal perturbation using the Concentric MacLaurin Spheroid (CMS) method. For strongly irradiated planets, we first performed radia…
Saturn's Interior After the Cassini Grand Finale
J. J. Fortney, B. Militzer, C. R. Mankovich +8
We present a review of Saturn's interior structure and thermal evolution, with a particular focus on work in the past 5 years. Data from the Cassini mission, including a precise de…
Equilibrium Tidal Response of Jupiter: Detectability by Juno
Sean M Wahl, Marzia Parisi, William M Folkner +2
An observation of Jupiter's tidal response is anticipated for the on-going Juno spacecraft mission. We combine self-consistent, numerical models of Jupiter's equilibrium tidal resp…
Models of Saturn's Interior Constructed with Accelerated Concentric Maclaurin Spheroid Method
B. Militzer, S. Wahl, W. B. Hubbard
The Cassini spacecraft's Grand Finale orbits provided a unique opportunity to probe Saturn's gravity field and interior structure. Doppler measurements yielded unexpectedly large v…
Comparing Jupiter interior structure models to Juno gravity measurements and the role of a dilute core
S. M. Wahl, W. B. Hubbard, B. Militzer +10
The Juno spacecraft has measured Jupiter's low-order, even gravitational moments, --, to an unprecedented precision, providing important constraints on the density profil…
High-temperature miscibility of iron and rock during terrestrial planet formation
Sean M Wahl, Burkhard Militzer
The accretion of a terrestrial body and differentiation of its silicate/oxide mantle from iron core provide abundant energy for heating its interior to temperatures much higher tha…
Tidal Response of Preliminary Jupiter Model
Sean M. Wahl, Willam B. Hubbard, Burkhard Militzer
In anticipation of improved observational data for Jupiter's gravitational field from the Juno spacecraft, we predict the static tidal response for a variety of Jupiter interior mo…
The Concentric Maclaurin Spheroid method with tides and a rotational enhancement of Saturn's tidal response
Sean M Wahl, William B Hubbard, Burkhard Militzer
We extend to three dimensions the Concentric Maclaurin Spheroid method for obtaining the self-consistent shape and gravitational field of a rotating liquid planet, to include a tid…
Solubility of Iron in Metallic Hydrogen and Stability of Dense Cores in Giant Planets
Sean Wahl, Hugh F. Wilson, Burkhard Militzer
The formation of the giant planets in our solar system, and likely a majority of giant exoplanets, is commonly explained by the accretion of nebular hydrogen and helium onto a larg…
