Jupiter ' s Hot , Mushy
Jupiter's moon Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. Observations by instruments on the Galileo spacecraft and on telescopes atop Maunakea in Hawai'i indicate that lava flows on Io are surprisingly hot, over 1200 oC and possibly as much as 1300 oC; a few areas might have lava flows as hot as 1500 oC. Such high temperatures imply that the lava flows are composed of rock th...
متن کاملElliptical instability in hot Jupiter systems
Several studies have already considered the influence of tides on the evolution of systems composed of a star and a close-in companion to tentatively explain different observations such as the spin-up of some stars with hot Jupiters, the radius anomaly of short orbital period planets and the synchronization or quasi-synchronization of the stellar spin in some extreme cases. However, the nature ...
متن کاملHot Jupiter Variability in Eclipse Depth
Physical conditions in the atmospheres of tidally locked, slowly rotating hot Jupiters correspond to dynamical circulation regimes with Rhines scales and Rossby deformation radii comparable to the planetary radii. Consequently, the large spatial scales of moving atmospheric structures could generate significant photospheric variability. Here, we estimate the level of thermal infrared variabilit...
متن کاملHAT-P-5b: A JUPITER-LIKE HOT JUPITER TRANSITING A BRIGHT STAR
We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately bright (V = 12.00) G star, with an orbital period of 2.788491± 0.000025 days. From the transit light curve we determine that the radius of the planet is Rp = 1.257± 0.053RJup. HAT-P-5b has a mass of Mp = 1.06± 0.11MJup, similar to the average mass of previously-known transiting exoplanets, and a density of ρp = 0.66± 0.11 g cm. We find...
متن کاملThe magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn and their lessons for the Earth
The study of planetary magnetospheres allows us to understand processes occurring in the Earth’s magnetosphere by showing us how these processes respond under different conditions. We illustrate lessons learned about the control of the size of the magnetosphere by the dynamic pressure of the solar wind; how cold plasma is lost from magnetospheres; how free energy is generated to produce ion cyc...
