Title: Properties of hydrogen, helium, and silicon dioxide mixtures in giant planet interiors

Abstract

Recent observations of Jupiter and Saturn provided by spacecraft missions, such as Juno and Cassini, compel us to revise and improve our models of giant planet interiors. Even though hydrogen and helium are by far the dominant species in these planets, heavy elements can play a significant role in the structure and evolution of the planet.

AB INITIO EQUATION OF STATE FOR HYDROGEN-HELIUM MIXTURES WITH RECALIBRATION OF THE GIANT-PLANET MASS-RADIUS RELATION

Journal Article Militzer, B. ; Hubbard, W. B. - Astrophysical Journal

Using density functional molecular dynamics simulations, we determine the equation of state (EOS) for hydrogen-helium mixtures spanning density-temperature conditions typical of giant-planet interiors, {approx}0.2-9 g cm{sup -3} and 1000-80,000 K for a typical helium mass fraction of 0.245. In addition to computing internal energy and pressure, we determine the entropy using an ab initio thermodynamic integration technique. A comprehensive EOS table with 391 density-temperature points is constructed and the results are presented in the form of a two-dimensional free energy fit for interpolation. Deviations between our ab initio EOS and the semi-analytical EOS model by Saumon and Chabrier are analyzedmore »« less

Evidence of hydrogen-helium immiscibility at Jupiter-interior conditions

Journal Article Brygoo, S. ; Loubeyre, P. ; Millot, M. ; ... - Nature (London)

The phase behaviour of warm dense hydrogen–helium (H–He) mixtures affects our understanding of the evolution of Jupiter and Saturn and their interior structures. For example, precipitation of He from a H–He atmosphere at about 1–10 megabar and a few thousand kelvin has been invoked to explain both the excess luminosity of Saturn, and the depletion of He and neon (Ne) in Jupiter’s atmosphere as observed by the Galileo probe. But despite its importance, H–He phase behaviour under relevant planetary conditions remains poorly constrained because it is challenging to determine computationally and because the extremes of temperature and pressure are difficultmore »« less

THE PROPERTIES OF HEAVY ELEMENTS IN GIANT PLANET ENVELOPES

Journal Article Soubiran, François ; Militzer, Burkhard - Astrophysical Journal

The core-accretion model for giant planet formation suggests a two-layer picture for the initial structure of Jovian planets, with heavy elements in a dense core and a thick H–He envelope. Late planetesimal accretion and core erosion could potentially enrich the H–He envelope in heavy elements, which is supported by the threefold solar metallicity that was measured in Jupiter’s atmosphere by the Galileo entry probe. In order to reproduce the observed gravitational moments of Jupiter and Saturn, models for their interiors include heavy elements, Z , in various proportions. However, their effect on the equation of state of the hydrogen–helium mixturesmore »« less

The Fuzziness of Giant Planets’ Cores

Journal Article Helled, Ravit ; Stevenson, David - Astrophysical Journal Letters

Giant planets are thought to have cores in their deep interiors, and the division into a heavy-element core and hydrogen–helium envelope is applied in both formation and structure models. We show that the primordial internal structure depends on the planetary growth rate, in particular, the ratio of heavy elements accretion to gas accretion. For a wide range of likely conditions, this ratio is in one-to-one correspondence with the resulting post-accretion profile of heavy elements within the planet. This flux ratio depends sensitively on the assumed solid-surface density in the surrounding nebula. We suggest that giant planets’ cores might not bemore »« less

Material Properties for the Interiors of Massive Giant Planets and Brown Dwarfs

Journal Article Becker, Andreas ; Bethkenhagen, Mandy ; Kellermann, Clemens ; ... - The Astronomical Journal (Online)

Here, we present thermodynamic material and transport properties for the extreme conditions prevalent in the interiors of massive giant planets and brown dwarfs. They are obtained from extensive ab initio simulations of hydrogen–helium mixtures along the isentropes of three representative objects. In particular, we determine the heat capacities, the thermal expansion coefficient, the isothermal compressibility, and the sound velocity. Important transport properties such as the electrical and thermal conductivity, opacity, and shear viscosity are also calculated. Further results for associated quantities, including magnetic and thermal diffusivity, kinematic shear viscosity, as well as the static Love number k₂ and the equidistance,more »« less
