Until recently, observations of the giant planets of our Solar System were confined to
sampling relatively shallow regions of their atmospheres, leaving many uncertainties as to …

Groundbased and spacecraft telescopic observations, combined with an intensive modeling
effort, have greatly enhanced our understanding of hot giant planets and brown dwarfs over …

INTRODUCTION The interior structure of Saturn, the depth of its winds, and the mass and
age of its rings have been open questions in planetary science. The mass distribution inside …

The depth to which Jupiter's observed east–west jet streams extend has been a long-
standing question,. Resolving this puzzle has been a primary goal for the Juno spacecraft …

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 …

We present global, three-dimensional numerical simulations of HD 189733b and HD
209458b that couple the atmospheric dynamics to a realistic representation of nongray …

The atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter are dominated by strong zonal winds engulfing the
planet. Since the first gravity measurements taken by Juno at Jupiter, the low-degree gravity …

We discuss our current understanding of the interior structure and thermal evolution of giant
planets. This includes the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, that are primarily …

We determine basic thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen–helium–water
mixtures for the extreme conditions along Jupiter's adiabat via ab initio simulations, which …

INTRODUCTION Starting on 26 April 2017, the Grand Finale phase of the Cassini mission
took the spacecraft through the gap between Saturn's atmosphere and the inner edge of its …
