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: 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…

Dynamo Action in the Steeply Decaying Conductivity Region of Jupiter-like Dynamo Models

Johannes Wicht, Thomas Gastine, Lucia D. V. Duarte

The Juno mission is delivering spectacular data of Jupiter's magnetic field, while the gravity measurements finally allow constraining the depth of the winds observed at cloud leve…

Material Properties for the Interiors of Massive Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs

Andreas Becker, Mandy Bethkenhagen, Clemens Kellermann +2

We present thermodynamic material and transport properties for the extreme conditions prevalent in the interiors of massive giant planets and brown dwarfs. They are obtained from e…
