An Exploration of Double Diffusive Convection in Jupiter as a Result of Hydrogen-Helium Phase Separation
N. Nettelmann, J. J. Fortney, K. Moore +1
Jupiter's atmosphere has been observed to be depleted in helium (Yatm~0.24), suggesting active helium sedimentation in the interior. This is accounted for in standard Jupiter struc…
Ab initio equations of state for hydrogen (H-REOS.3) and helium (He-REOS.3) and their implications for the interior of Brown Dwarfs
Andreas Becker, Winfried Lorenzen, Jonathan J. Fortney +3
We present new equations of state (EOS) for hydrogen and helium covering a wide range of temperatures from 60 K to 10 K and densities from g/cm to g/cm$^3…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
