Evidence for a Dichotomy in the Interior Structures of Jupiter and Saturn from Helium Phase Separation
Christopher R. Mankovich, Jonathan J. Fortney
We examine the comparative thermal evolution of Jupiter and Saturn applying recent theoretical results for helium's immiscibility in fluid metallic hydrogen. The redistribution of…
Bayesian Evolution Models for Jupiter with Helium Rain and Double-diffusive Convection
Christopher Mankovich, Jonathan J. Fortney, Kevin L. Moore
Hydrogen and helium demix when sufficiently cool, and this bears on the evolution of all giant planets at large separations at or below roughly a Jupiter mass. We model the thermal…
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…
