The deep atmosphere of Jupiter
Keren Duer-Milner
Jupiter, a rapidly rotating gas giant, features over 20 atmospheric jet streams that penetrate thousands of kilometers into the planet. This work discusses recent progress, identif…
Implications of a Stable Layer on the Vertical Structure of Jet Streams on Jupiter
Keren Duer-Milner, Louis Siebenaler, Lillian Haley +1
The vertical structure of Jupiter's jet streams remains a critical open question for understanding the planet's atmospheric dynamics and interior. Traditional models often assume a…
From gas to ice giants: A unified mechanism for equatorial jets
Keren Duer-Milner, Nimrod Gavriel, Eli Galanti +2
The equatorial jets dominating the dynamics of the Jovian planets exhibit two distinct types of zonal flows: strongly eastward in the gas giants (superrotation) and strongly westwa…
Fluorescent Biomolecules Detectable in Near-Surface Ice on Europa
Gideon Yoffe, Keren Duer, Tom Andre Nordheim +2
Europa, Jupiter's second Galilean moon, is believed to host a subsurface ocean in contact with a rocky mantle, where hydrothermal activity may drive the synthesis of organic molecu…
