Stability of Planetary Interiors
Geophysical Journal International, 1969Summary Many accept thermal convection within the mantle of the Earth as the driving mechanism for continental drift. It is also of considerable interest to determine whether thermal convection is occurring within Venus, Mars, and the Moon. In this paper a systematic treatment of the stability of planetary interiors is given.

Physics of planetary interiors
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1985G H A Cole 1984 Bristol: Adam Hilger xiv + 206 pp price £9.95 (paperback) (IOP members' price £7.95) ISBN 0 85274 445 5 A planet, unlike any ordinary star, is a 'cold' body in the sense that its size would not change substantially on being cooled to absolute zero.

Models of the interior structure of a ▶ planet or ▶ satellite give the variations of thermodynamic state variables as functions of radius (starting at the center) or depth (starting at the surface). The thermodynamic state variables are pressure, temperature, density (or specific volume), and the concentration of chemical species.

The Rheology of the Planetary Interior
Journal of Rheology, 1984The mantle of the earth is rheologically similar to an amorphous polymer. The short‐time‐scale behavior in shear is anelastic and rather well described by a constant Q absorption band. The long‐time‐scale behavior is essentially Newtonian viscous and this mode of deformation dominates the material behavior for times in excess of a Maxwell time which is

Compressibility and planetary interiors
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1972Important confirmations that the Earth's inner core is solid have recently come from analyses of records of free Earth oscillations and from the apparent detection of the seismic phase PKJKP. Corresponding support is given to the theory which supplied the primary evidence for rigidity in the inner core.

Plasmas in Planetary Interiors
2005We give an overview of the properties of matter in planetary interiors. Of special interest are the equation of state and the conductivities. This field has gained much more interest because of the detection of Jupiter-like, extrasolar planets since 1995.

Convection in planetary interiors
Icarus, 1962Die linearisierten Erhaltungssätze für Masse, Energie and Impuls werden für viskose Strömungen in einer heterogenen kompressiblen Flüssigkeitskugel abgeleitet. Dabei kann der Viskositätskoeffizient eine beliebige Funktion des Radius sein. Die Betrachtungen werden im Hinblick darauf angestellt, daß im durch radioaktive Zerfallswärme verflüssigten ...

Planetary Magnetic Fields: Planetary Interiors and Habitability
2016Soon after its detection, radio emission from Jupiter was quickly identified as a product of its planetary-scale magnetic field. Subsequent spacecraft investigations have revealed that many of the planets—and even some moons—either currently have or have had in the past a planetaryscale magnetic field.
