Interior structure of Mars and other rock-and-iron planetary bodies
A. Aitta
Here it is shown how to find the interior structure of a variety of rock-and-iron planetary bodies by using the rock density and some aspects of the core density as known for the E…
Internal structure of Pluto and Charon with an iron core
A. Aitta
Pluto has been observed by the New Horizons space probe to have some relatively fresh ice on the old ices covering most of the surface. Pluto was thought to consist of only a rocky…
Tricritical Points and Liquid-Solid Critical Lines
A. Aitta
Tricritical points separate continuous and discontinuous symmetry breaking transitions. They occur in a variety of physical systems and their mathematical models. A tricritical poi…
Light matter in the core of the Earth: its identity, quantity and temperature using tricritical phenomena
A. Aitta
Light elements in the iron-rich core of the Earth are important indicators for the evolution of our planet. Their amount and distribution, and the temperature in the core, are esse…
Iron melting curve with a tricritical point
A. Aitta
Solidification as a first order phase transition is described in the Landau theory by the same equation as tricritical phenomena. Here, the solidification or melting temperature ag…
An Fe-Si-Ni solidification model of the Earth's layering
A. Aitta
The physical process creating layered structure in planetary rocky bodies is considered here to be multicomponent solidification. This is a unified alternative approach to the pres…
