The influence of composition gradients on giant planet radii
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe radius of a giant planet is a key physical property. It encapsulates the outcome of its mass, composition, and thermal state, serving as a critical link between observations and the theory of planetary interiors.

Oxidation of the Interiors of Carbide Exoplanets
The Planetary Science Journal, 2020 Astrophysical measurements have shown that some stars have sufficiently high carbon-to-oxygen ratios such that the planets they host would be mainly composed of carbides instead of silicates.

Planetary Interior in the Laboratory [PDF]
, 2003 In the three years of this project, we have provided a complete database of the electrical conductivity of planetary materials to 180 GPa. The electrical conductivities of these planetary materials now provide a basis for future modeling of planets taking into account full magnetohydrodynamics.

Tidally-forced turbulence in planetary interiors [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2016 The turbulence generated in the liquid metal cores and subsurface oceans of planetary bodies may be due to the role of mechanical forcing through precession/nutation, libration, tidal forcing and collisions. Here, we model the response of an enclosed constant density fluid to tidal forcing by combining laboratory equatorial velocity measurements with ...

THE CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS OF PLANETARY INTERIORS
, 1980 The deep interiors of Jupiter and Saturn consist of fluid, metallic hydrogen. In Jupiter the metallic hydrogen is uniformly mixed with helium. In Saturn, the incomplete solubility of helium may cause unmixing and energy release.

Using magnetic fluids to model convection of planetary or stellar interiors in laboratory scale
, 2018 Baroclininc flow induced via thermomagnetic convection is investigated as a potential model of convection of planetary interiors at a laboratory scale. To reproduce a central force field, a permanent magnet is used that acts on a magnetic fluid contained
