چکیده
The Juno orbiter continues to collect data on Jupiter's gravity field with unprecedented precision since 2016, recently reporting a non-hydrostatic component in the tidal response of planet. At mid-mission perijove 17, registered Love number $k_2=0.565\pm0.006$ that is $-4\pm1\%$ ($1\sigma$) from theoretical hydrostatic $k_2^{(hs)}=0.590$. Here we assess whether aforementioned departure tides equilibrium represents neglected gravitational contribution dynamical tides. We employ perturbation theory and simple models calculate fractional correction $\Delta k_2$ well-known $k_2$. Exploiting analytical simplicity toy uniform-density model, show how Coriolis acceleration motivates negative sign observed by Juno. By simplifying interior into core-less, fully-convective, chemically-homogeneous body, model following an $n=1$ polytrope equation state. Our numerical results for qualitatively follow behaviour mostly because main flow similar each case. indicate effect Io-induced tide leads k_2=-4\pm1\%$, agreement reported Consequently, our suggest obtained first unambiguous detection gas giant These facilitate future interpretation purpose elucidating existence dilute core Jupiter.

Diurnal Thermal Tides in a Non-synchronized Hot Jupiter
We perform a linear analysis to investigate the dynamical response of a nonsynchronized hot Jupiter to stellar irradiation. In this work, we consider the diurnal Fourier harmonic of the stellar irradiation acting at the top of a radiative layer of a hot Jupiter with no clouds and winds. In the absence of the Coriolis force, the diurnal thermal forcing can excite internal waves propagating into ...
متن کاملDynamical Tides in Rotating Binary Stars
We study the effect of rotation on the excitation of internal oscillation modes of a star by the external gravitational potential of its companion. Unlike the nonrotating case, there are difficulties with the usual mode decomposition for rotating stars because of the asymmetry between modes propagating in the direction of rotation and those propagating opposite to it. For an eccentric binary sy...
متن کاملA dynamical picture of the oceanic tides
A detailed treatment of tide-generating forces is given, followed by a simplified dynamic theory of tidal waves. To clarify the underlying physics, we use a simple model of the ocean that consists of a water shell of uniform depth completely covering the globe. The treatment is appropriate for college and university undergraduate students studying introductory geophysics or astronomy, general p...
متن کاملJuno, the angular momentum of Jupiter and the Lense-Thirring effect
The recently approved Juno mission will orbit Jupiter for one year in a highly eccentric (rmin = 1.06RJup, rmax = 39RJup) polar orbit (i = 90 deg) to accurately map, among other things, the jovian magnetic and gravitational fields. Such an orbital configuration yields an ideal situation, in principle, to attempt a measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect through the Juno’s ...
متن کاملDynamical Tides in Compact White Dwarf Binaries: Influence of Rotation
Tidal interactions play an important role in the evolution and ultimate fate of compact white dwarf (WD) binaries. Not only do tides affect the pre-merger state (such as temperature and rotation rate) of the WDs, but they may also determine which systems merge and which undergo stable mass transfer. In this paper, we attempt to quantify the effects of rotation on tidal angular momentum transpor...
