The evolution and internal structure of Neptunes and sub-Neptunes II. Convective mixing and thermal conductivity
Mark Eberlein, Ravit Helled
Sub-Neptunes and Neptunes are often modeled with distinct, fully convective layers. Yet, there are several arguments for compositions gradients that can inhibit convection. In thes…

The Evolution and Internal Structure of Neptunes and Sub-Neptunes: The importance of thermal conductivity in non-convective regions
Mark Eberlein, Ravit Helled
Neptunes and sub-Neptunes are typically modeled under the assumption that the interior is adiabatic and consists of distinct layers. However, formation models indicate that composi…
