Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Gaseous Planets
Jim Fuller, Marzia Parisi, Steve Markham +2
The excitation and damping mechanisms for oscillation modes of gas giant planets are undetermined. We show that differential rotation may greatly enhance convective viscosity in gi…

Setting the Stage for Uranian Seismology from Rings and Radial Velocities
Christopher R. Mankovich, A. James Friedson, Marzia Parisi +6
A Uranus orbiter would be well positioned to detect the planet's free oscillation modes, whose frequencies can resolve questions about Uranus's weakly constrained interior. We calc…

Uranus Study Report: KISS
Mark Hofstadter, Ravit Helled, David J. Stevenson +27
Determining the internal structure of Uranus is a key objective for planetary science. Knowledge of Uranus's bulk composition and the distribution of elements is crucial to underst…
