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…

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…

Jupiter's interior from Juno: Equation-of-state uncertainties and dilute core extent

S. Howard, T. Guillot, M. Bazot +10

The Juno mission has provided measurements of Jupiter s gravity field with an outstanding level of accuracy, leading to better constraints on the interior of the planet. Improving…
