Jupiter ' s Hot , Mushy
Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. Observations by instruments on the Galileo spacecraft and on telescopes atop Maunakea in Hawai'i indicate that lava flows on Io are surprisingly hot, over 1200 oC and possibly as much as 1300 oC; a few areas might have lava flows as hot as 1500 oC. Such high temperatures imply that the lava flows are composed of rock th...
متن کاملElliptical instability in hot Jupiter systems
Several studies have already considered the influence of tides on the evolution of systems composed of a star and a close-in companion to tentatively explain different observations such as the spin-up of some stars with hot Jupiters, the radius anomaly of short orbital period planets and the synchronization or quasi-synchronization of the stellar spin in some extreme cases. However, the nature ...
متن کاملHot Jupiter Variability in Eclipse Depth
Physical conditions in the atmospheres of tidally locked, slowly rotating hot Jupiters correspond to dynamical circulation regimes with Rhines scales and Rossby deformation radii comparable to the planetary radii. Consequently, the large spatial scales of moving atmospheric structures could generate significant photospheric variability. Here, we estimate the level of thermal infrared variabilit...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Modeling of Hot Jupiter Atmospheric Flows
We present a three dimensional hot Jupiter model, extending from 200 bar to 1 mbar, using the Intermediate General Circulation Model from the University of Reading. Our horizontal spectral resolution is T31 (equivalent to a grid of 48×96), with 33 logarithmically spaced vertical levels. A simplified (Newtonian) scheme is employed for the radiative forcing. We adopt a physical set up nearly iden...
متن کاملHot CH4 in the polar regions of Jupiter
We have obtained 3.3–3.4-lm spectro-images of Jupiter including CH4 and H3 emission lines from both polar regions at the Gemini North telescope. We find that the peak of the 3-lm CH4 northern bright spot is located at 200 (SysIII) longitude, 20 west of the center of the 8-lm north-polar bright spot, and does not coincide with the 3-lm H3 bright spot. We derive high temperatures (500–850 K) from...
