Jupiter and Saturn Rotation Periods
Anderson & Schubert (2007, Science, 317, 1384) proposed that Saturn’s rotation period can be ascertained by minimizing the dynamic heights of the 100 mbar isosurface with respect to the geoid; they derived a rotation period of 10h 32m 35s. We investigate the same approach for Jupiter to see if the Jovian rotation period is predicted by minimizing the dynamical heights of its isobaric (1 bar pre...
متن کاملInterior models of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune
Interior model calculations of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune require EOS-data of hydrogen, helium and water in the regime of warm dense matter. In case of Saturn, the pressure in the deep interior rises up to 15 Mbar at 600010000 K and a hydrogen mass fraction of at least 40%. In Jupiter, due to his larger total mass compared to Saturn, the high-pressure region is more extended with pressures up ...
متن کاملComparative Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn
We present evolutionary sequences for Jupiter and Saturn, based on new nongray model atmospheres, which take into account the evolution of the solar luminosity and partitioning of dense components to deeper layers. The results are used to set limits on the extent to which possible interior phase separation of hydrogen and helium may have progressed in the two planets. When combined with static ...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Interiors of Jupiter and Saturn
Interior models of Jupiter and Saturn are calculated and compared in the framework of the three-layer assumption, which rely on the perception that both planets consist of three globally homogeneous regions: a dense core, a metallic hydrogen envelope, and a molecular hydrogen envelope. Within this framework, constraints on the core mass and abundance of heavy elements (i.e. elements other than ...
متن کاملCould giant basin-forming impacts have killed Martian dynamo?
The observed strong remanent crustal magnetization at the surface of Mars suggests an active dynamo in the past and ceased to exist around early to middle Noachian era, estimated by examining remagnetization strengths in extant and buried impact basins. We investigate whether the Martian dynamo could have been killed by these large basin-forming impacts, via numerical simulation of subcritical ...
