Juno is a PI-led mission to Jupiter, the second mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program.
The 3625-kg spacecraft spins at 2 rpm and is powered by three 9-meter-long solar arrays …

Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the Universe. They are also, in
principle, the most simple. Nonetheless, they display remarkable properties under extreme …

The best constraints on the internal structures of giant planets have historically originated
from measurements of their gravity fields,–. These data are inherently mostly sensitive to a …

Exoplanet discoveries of recent years have provided a great deal of new data for studying
the bulk compositions of giant planets. Here we identify 47 transiting giant planets (20 M⊕< …

Abstract The Juno spacecraft measured Jupiter's gravity field and determined the even and
odd zonal harmonics, J n, with unprecedented precision. However, interpreting these …

Jupiter's atmosphere is rotating differentially, with zones and belts rotating at speeds that
differ by up to 100 metres per second. Whether this is also true of the gas giant's interior has …

The statistical properties of circumstellar disks around young stars are important for
constraining theoretical models for the formation and early evolution of planetary systems. In …

In the primordial solar system, the most plausible sources of the water accreted by the Earth
were in the outer asteroid belt, in the giant planet regions, and in the Kuiper Belt. We …

We study numerically an extensive set of dynamo models in rotating spherical shells,
varying all relevant control parameters by at least two orders of magnitude. Convection is …

▪ Abstract We know that giant planets played a crucial role in the making of our Solar
System. The discovery of giant planets orbiting other stars is a formidable opportunity to …
