Saturn's Interior After the Cassini Grand Finale
J. J. Fortney, B. Militzer, C. R. Mankovich +8
We present a review of Saturn's interior structure and thermal evolution, with a particular focus on work in the past 5 years. Data from the Cassini mission, including a precise de…
The Promise and Limitations of Precision Gravity: Application to the Interior Structure of Uranus and Neptune
Naor Movshovitz, Jonathan J. Fortney
We study the constraining power of a high-precision measurement of the gravity field for Uranus and Neptune, as could be delivered by a low periapse orbiter. Our study is practical…
The nature of gas giant planets
Ravit Helled, Naor Movshovitz, Nadine Nettelmann
Revealing the true nature of the gas giant planets in our Solar System is challenging. The masses of Jupiter and Saturn are about 318 and 95 Earth masses, respectively. While they…
Theory of Figures to the 7th order and the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn
N. Nettelmann, N. Movshovitz, D. Ni +6
Interior modeling of Jupiter and Saturn has advanced to a state where thousands of models are generated that cover the uncertainty space of many parameters. This approach demands a…
Connecting gravity field, moment of inertia, and core properties in Jupiter through empirical structure models
Benno A. Neuenschwander, Ravit Helled, Naor Movshovitz +1
Constraining Jupiter's internal structure is crucial for understanding its formation and evolution history. Recent interior models of Jupiter that fit Juno's measured gravitational…
Saturn's Probable Interior: An Exploration of Saturn's Potential Interior Density Structures
Naor Movshovitz, Jonathan J. Fortney, Chris Mankovich +2
The gravity field of a giant planet is typically our best window into its interior structure and composition. Through comparison of a model planet's calculated gravitational potent…
Cassini Ring Seismology as a Probe of Saturn's Interior I: Rigid Rotation
Christopher Mankovich, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney +1
Seismology of the gas giants holds the potential to resolve long-standing questions about their internal structure and rotation state. We construct a family of Saturn interior mode…
Numerical modeling of the disruption of Comet D/1993 F2 Shoemaker-Levy 9 representing the progenitor by a gravitationally bound assemblage of randomly shaped polyhedra
Naor Movshovitz, Erik Asphaug, Donald Korycansky
We advance the modeling of rubble-pile solid bodies by re-examining the tidal breakup of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, an event that occurred during a 1.33 Jupiter radii encounter with t…
Formation of Jupiter using opacities based on detailed grain physics
Naor Movshovitz, Peter Bodenheimer, Morris Podolak +1
Numerical simulations, based on the core-nucleated accretion model, are presented for the formation of Jupiter at 5.2 AU in 3 primordial disks with three different assumed values o…
