Predicting phase transition pressure in solids: a semiclassical possibility

open access: yes, 1999
This is a short review of the physical ideas,algorithm for calculations and some results of a semiclassical theory of the behaviour of materials under high pressure,proposed by P.Savic and R.Kasanin.The theory has found applications from DAC experiments ...

Solar-like oscillations in a massive star [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Seismology of stars provides insight into the physical mechanisms taking place in their interior, with modes of oscillation probing different layers. Low-amplitude acoustic oscillations excited by turbulent convection were detected four decades ago in ...

Probing the Rock Mass Fraction and Transport Efficiency inside Uranus Using 40Ar Measurements

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The bulk of Uranus consists of a rock–ice core, but the relative proportions of rock and ice are unknown. Radioactive decay of potassium in the silicates produces ^40 Ar.

An Ancient Martian Dynamo Driven by Hemispheric Heating: Effect of Thermal Boundary Conditions

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Magnetic field observations from the MGS, MAVEN, and InSight missions reveal that a dynamo was active in Mars’s early history. One unique feature of Mars’s magnetic crustal field is its hemispheric dichotomy, where magnetic fields in the southern ...

Architecture of Kepler's Multi-transiting Systems: II. New investigations with twice as many candidates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We report on the orbital architectures of Kepler systems having multiple planet candidates identified in the analysis of data from the first six quarters of Kepler data and reported by Batalha et al. (2013).

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

A Comparison of the Interiors of Jupiter and Saturn

open access: yes, 1999
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 ...

Planetary Interiors

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
The effective definition of a planet is a body too small to sustain nuclear reactions in its interior, but large enough that its thermal decay time is more than five billion years, the age of the solar system. By this definition, there are fifteen planets in the solar system: all the conventional planets but Pluto plus the seven large satellites.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Libration- and Precession-driven Dissipation in the Fluid Cores of the TRAPPIST-1 Planets

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The seven planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1 have sizes and masses similar to Earth and mean densities that suggest that their interior structures are comprised of a fluid iron core and rocky mantle.
