Flux Tube Properties and Interchange Instabilities in Jupiter's Middle Magnetosphere
Abstract In Jupiter's magnetosphere, the outward transport of Io‐genic plasma and the planetward injection of energetic particles are facilitated by flux tube interchange motion driven by centrifugal instabilities. Flux tube content and entropy are two competing key quantities that determine the behavior of the system.

Tidal oscillations of rotating hot Jupiters [PDF]
ABSTRACT We calculate small amplitude gravitational and thermal tides of uniformly rotating hot Jupiters composed of a nearly isentropic convective core and a geometrically thin radiative envelope. We treat the fluid in the convective core as a viscous fluid and solve linearized Navier–Stokes equations to obtain tidal responses of the ...

On the Period Distribution of Close-In Extrasolar Giant Planets [PDF]
Transit (TR) surveys for extrasolar planets have recently uncovered a population of ``very hot Jupiters,'' planets with orbital periods of P< 3 d. At first sight this may seem surprising, given that radial velocity (RV) surveys have found a dearth of ...

OHMIC DISSIPATION IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF HOT JUPITERS [PDF]
Hot Jupiter atmospheres exhibit fast, weakly-ionized winds. The interaction of these winds with the planetary magnetic field generates drag on the winds and leads to ohmic dissipation of the induced electric currents. We study the magnitude of ohmic dissipation in representative, three-dimensional atmospheric circulation models of the hot Jupiter HD ...

The authors demonstrate synthesis of amorphous sub‐stoichiometric silicon carbide, carbon contents up to 13 wt.% from the gas‐phase using monosilane and ethylene. The impact of carbon on material properties is investigated. By solid NMR, a model for the incorporation mechanism of carbon is developed. Performance in Li‐Ion battery is shown.

ATMOSPHERIC HEAT REDISTRIBUTION ON HOT JUPITERS [PDF]
Infrared lightcurves of transiting hot Jupiters present a trend in which the atmospheres of the hottest planets are less efficient at redistributing the stellar energy absorbed on their daysides---and thus have a larger day-night temperature contrast---than colder planets.

Physicochemical Constraints on the Abiotic Polymerization of Nucleotides Into RNA
Abstract One of the key steps in the origin of life is the polymerization of nucleotides into nucleic acids like RNA. We have quantified the energetic impact of temperature, pressure, and composition on the polymerization of nucleotides into RNA using the Gibbs function. These Gibbs energies have been used to calculate the probability that a nucleotide

H2O abundances in the atmospheres of three hot Jupiters
The core accretion theory for giant planet formation predicts enrichment of elemental abundances in planetary envelopes caused by runaway accretion of planetesimals, which is consistent with measured super-solar abundances of C, N, P, S, Xe, and Ar in ...
