Saturn's Magnetic Field at Unprecedented Detail Achieved by Cassini's Close Encounters
Hao Cao, Michele K. Dougherty, Gregory J. Hunt +4
The last 22.5 orbits of the Cassini mission brought the spacecraft to less than 3000 km from Saturn's 1-bar surface. These close encounters offered an unprecedented view of Saturn'…
A Global Simulation of the Dynamo, Zonal Jets, and Vortices on Saturn
Rakesh Kumar Yadav, Hao Cao, Jeremy Bloxham
The fluid dynamics in planet Saturn gives rise to alternating east-west jet streams, large cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices, and a dipole-dominant magnetic field which is highly…
A dynamo simulation generating Saturn-like small magnetic dipole tilts
Rakesh K. Yadav, Hao Cao, Jeremy Bloxham
Among planetary dynamos, the magnetic field of Saturn stands out in its exceptional level of axisymmetry. One of its peculiar features is that the magnetic dipole mode is tilted wi…
Investigating Barotropic Zonal Flow in Jupiter's Deep Atmosphere using Juno Gravitational Data
Laura Kulowski, Hao Cao, Rakesh K. Yadav +1
The high-precision Juno gravitational measurements allow us to infer the structure of Jupiter's deep atmospheric zonal flow. Since this inference is nonunique, it is important to e…
The landscape of Saturn's internal magnetic field from the Cassini Grand Finale
Hao Cao, Michele K. Dougherty, Gregory J. Hunt +4
The Cassini mission entered the Grand Finale phase in April 2017 and executed 22.5 highly inclined, close-in orbits around Saturn before diving into the planet on September 15th 20…
Growth Model Interpretation of Planet Size Distribution
Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +13
The radii and orbital periods of 4000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks corr…
