Ab Initio Entropy Calculations of Water Predict the Interiors of Uranus and Neptune to be 15-30% Colder than Previous Models
Burkhard Militzer
Ab initio free energy calculations are employed to derive the entropy of liquid and superionic water over a wide range of conditions in the interiors of Uranus and Neptune. The res…
Experimental Pathways for Detecting Double Superionicity in Planetary Ices
Kyla de Villa, Felipe Gonzalez-Cataldo, Burkhard Militzer
The ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune are assumed to contain large amounts of planetary ices such as water, methane, and ammonia. The properties of mixtures of such ices at the…
Study of Jupiter's Interior: Comparison of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Layer Models
Burkhard Militzer, William B. Hubbard
With the goal of matching spacecraft measurements from Juno and Galileo missions, we construct ensembles of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 layer models for Jupiter's interior. All except our tw…
Strong resemblance between surface and deep zonal winds inside Jupiter revealed by high-degree gravity moments
Hao Cao, Jeremy Bloxham, Ryan S. Park +5
Jupiter's atmosphere-interior is a coupled fluid dynamical system strongly influenced by the rapid background rotation. While the visible atmosphere features east-west zonal winds…
Study of Jupiter's Interior with Quadratic Monte Carlo Simulations
Burkhard Militzer
We construct models for Jupiter's interior that match the gravity data obtained by the Juno and Galileo spacecrafts. To generate ensembles of models, we introduce a novel quadratic…
Relation of Gravity, Winds, and the Moment of Inertia of Jupiter and Saturn
Burkhard Militzer, William B. Hubbard
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 t…
