The interior configuration of planet Mercury constrained by moment of inertia and planetary contraction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research E: Planets, 2015
This paper presents an analysis of present-day interior configuration models for Mercury considering cores of Fe-S or Fe-Si alloy, the latter possibly covered by a solid FeS layer, in light of the improved limit of planetary contraction of 7 km derived ...

Global MHD simulations of Mercury's magnetosphere with coupled planetary interior: Induction effect of the planetary conducting core on the global interaction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2015
Mercury's comparatively weak intrinsic magnetic field and its close proximity to the Sun lead to a magnetosphere that undergoes more direct space‐weathering interactions than other planets.

Stability of Planetary Interiors

Geophysical Journal International, 1969
Summary 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.

Interior Structure, Planetary

2011
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.

Compressibility and planetary interiors

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1972
Important 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.

The Rheology of the Planetary Interior

Journal of Rheology, 1984
The 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

Convection in planetary interiors

Icarus, 1962
Die 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 ...
