Towards an agnostic algorithm for sampling empirical structure models: The case of Uranus and Neptune
Stefano Wirth, Luca Morf, Ravit Helled
We present an algorithm to efficiently sample the full space of planetary interior density profiles. Our approach uses as few assumptions as possible to pursue an agnostic algorith…
Further constraints on Jupiter's primordial structure
Henrik Knierim, Konstantin Batygin, Ravit Helled +2
The primordial structure of Jupiter remains uncertain, yet it holds vital clues on the planet's formation and early evolution. Recent work used dynamical constraints from Jupiter's…
Icy or rocky? Convective or stable? New interior models of Uranus and Neptune
Luca Morf, Ravit Helled
We present a new framework for constructing agnostic and yet physical models for planetary interiors and apply it to Uranus and Neptune. Unlike previous research that either impose…
Dark Matter Particle Flux in a Dynamically Self-consistent Milky Way Model
Lucijana Stanic, Mark Eberlein, Stanislav Linchakovskyy +5
We extend a recently developed dynamically self-consistent model of the Milky Way constrained by observations from the Gaia observatory to include a radially anisotropic component…
