Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Gaseous Planets
The Planetary Science JournalThe excitation and damping mechanisms for oscillation modes of gas giant planets are undetermined. We show that differential rotation may greatly enhance the convective viscosity in giant planets, resulting in damping times of t _damp ∼ 10 ^5 –10 ^6 yr ...

Jupiter Evolutionary Models Incorporating Stably Stratified Regions
The Astrophysical JournalWe address the issue of which broad set of initial conditions for the planet Jupiter best matches the current presence of a “fuzzy core” of heavy elements, while at the same time comporting with measured parameters such as its effective temperature ...

The Planetary Science JournalIn this paper, the formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of accreting planetesimals, composed of water ice, rock, and ...

Miscibility and Transport Properties in Hydrogen–Neon Mixtures
The Astrophysical JournalThe mixing behavior of hydrogen with heavier elements plays a key role in modeling the interiors of giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. Using density functional theory combined with molecular dynamics, we investigate hydrogen–neon mixtures and find

Laboratory Studies of Hypervelocity Impacts on Solar System Analogues [PDF]
, 2015 Impact cratering and asteroid collisions are major processes throughout the Solar System. Although previous collision-related impact investigations exist (Flynn et al. 2015, Holsapple et al. 2002 and Burchell et al.
