Theory of Figures to the 7th order and the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn

N. Nettelmann, N. Movshovitz, D. Ni +6

Interior modeling of Jupiter and Saturn has advanced to a state where thousands of models are generated that cover the uncertainty space of many parameters. This approach demands a…

A diffuse core in Saturn revealed by ring seismology

Christopher Mankovich, Jim Fuller

The best constraints on the internal structures of giant planets have historically come from measurements of their gravity fields. These gravity data are inherently mostly sensitiv…

Saturn's rings as a seismograph to probe Saturn's internal structure

Christopher R. Mankovich

As it has already done for Earth, the sun, and the stars, seismology has the potential to radically change the way the interiors of giant planets are studied. In a sequence of even…

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…

Saturn's Probable Interior: An Exploration of Saturn's Potential Interior Density Structures

Naor Movshovitz, Jonathan J. Fortney, Chris Mankovich +2

The gravity field of a giant planet is typically our best window into its interior structure and composition. Through comparison of a model planet's calculated gravitational potent…

Cassini Ring Seismology as a Probe of Saturn's Interior I: Rigid Rotation

Christopher Mankovich, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney +1

Seismology of the gas giants holds the potential to resolve long-standing questions about their internal structure and rotation state. We construct a family of Saturn interior mode…
