土星内部

The Interior of Saturn

摘要:

我们回顾了我们目前对土星内部结构和热演化的认识,重点是卡西尼时代的最新结果。在理解物理输入方面取得了重要进展,包括行星材料及其混合物的状态方程,重力场和旋转速率等物理参数,以及对土星自由振荡的限制。与此同时,新的计算方法,包括对旋转流体重力场的研究,以及内部成分梯度的作用,应该有助于更好地限制土星内部的状态,现在和历史上的早期。然而,更好地理解建模的不确定性和退化,以及对建模相空间的更大探索,仍然给我们对土星内部的理解留下了很大的不确定性。对卡西尼数据集的进一步分析,以及卡西尼大结局轨道的精确重力场测量,将在未来几年内进一步彻底改变我们对土星内部的理解。

英文摘要:

We review our current understanding of the interior structure and thermal evolution of Saturn, with a focus on recent results in the Cassini era. There has been important progress in understanding physical inputs, including equations of state of planetary materials and their mixtures, physical parameters like the gravity field and rotation rate, and constraints on Saturnian free oscillations. At the same time, new methods of calculation, including work on the gravity field of rotating fluid bodies, and the role of interior composition gradients, should help to better constrain the state of Saturn's interior, now and earlier in its history. However, a better appreciation of modeling uncertainties and degeneracies, along with a greater exploration of modeling phase space, still leave great uncertainties in our understanding of Saturn's interior. Further analysis of Cassini data sets, as well as precise gravity field measurements from the Cassini Grand Finale orbits, will further revolutionize our understanding of Saturn's interior over the next few years.
