Magnetic induction processes in Hot Jupiters, application to KELT-9b
Wieland Dietrich, Sandeep Kumar, Anna Julia Poser +4
The small semi-major axes of Hot Jupiters lead to high atmospheric temperatures of up to several thousand Kelvin. Under these conditions, thermally ionised metals provide a rich so…
Ionization and transport in partially ionized multicomponent plasmas: Application to atmospheres of hot Jupiters
Sandeep Kumar, Anna Julia Poser, Manuel Schöttler +5
We study ionization and transport processes in partially ionized multicomponent plasmas. The plasma composition is calculated via a system of coupled mass action laws. The electron…
Linking Zonal Winds and Gravity II: explaining the equatorially antisymmetric gravity moments of Jupiter
Wieland Dietrich, Paula Wulff, Johannes Wicht +1
The recent gravity field measurements of Jupiter (Juno) and Saturn (Cassini) confirm the existence of deep zonal flows reaching to a depth of 5\% and 15\% of the respective radius.…
Linking Zonal Winds and Gravity: The Relative Importance of Dynamic Self Gravity
Johannes Wicht, Wieland Dietrich, Paula Wulff +1
Recent precise measurements at Jupiter's and Saturn's gravity fields constrain the properties of the zonal flows in the outer envelopes of these planets. A simplified dynamic equat…
Penetrative Convection in Partly Stratified Rapidly Rotating Spherical Shells
Wieland Dietrich, Johannes Wicht
Celestial objects host interfaces between convective and stable stratified interior regions. The interaction between both, e.g., the transfer of heat, mass, or angular momentum dep…
Anelastic spherical dynamos with radially variable electrical conductivity
Wieland Dietrich, Chris. A. Jones
A series of numerical simulations of the dynamo process operating inside gas giant planets has been performed. We use an anelastic, fully nonlinear, three-dimensional, benchmarked…
