Predictions on the core mass of Jupiter and of giant planets in general

摘要: More than 80 giant planets are known by mass and radius. Their interior structure in terms of core mass, number layers, composition however is still poorly known. An overview presented about the Mcore envelope metals MZ Jupiter as predicted various equations state. It argued that uncertainty true H/He EOS a pressure regime where gravitational moments J2 J4 most sensitive, i.e. between 0.5 4 Mbar, part responsible for broad range Mcore=0-18 Mearth, MZ=0-38 Mcore+MZ=14-38 Mearth currently offered Jupiter. We then compare models obtained when we only match with solutions exoplanet GJ436b, an assumed tidal Love k2 value.
