Stable Stratification of the Helium Rain Layer Yields Vastly Different Interiors and Magnetic Fields for Jupiter and Saturn
At sufficiently high pressures (∼Mbar) and low temperatures (∼10 ^3 –10 ^4 K), hydrogen and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s magnetic fields favor the existence of a statically stable layer near the Mbar pressure level. From experimental and computational da...
