The directory contains the following files:
- README -> This file
- jupiter_evolution.dat -> Evolution
model of Jupiter
The columns are: Time(Myr), Radius (Rjup=6.9894e9cm), Intrinsic luminosity
(Ljup=3.34e24erg/s),
Effective temperature [K], 10bar temperature [K], intrinsic entropy [erg/g/K],
test quantity
- jupiter_[A-F].des -> Interior models of Jupiter [jupiter_A.des
jupiter_B.des jupiter_C.des
jupiter_D.des jupiter_E.des
jupiter_F.des ]
The columns are (in log, then linearly):
Mass (Mjup=1.89861120D+30 g), Radius (Rjup=6.9894e9cm), Pressure [dyn/cm2],
Temperature [K], Density [g/cm3], Rosseland opacity(*) [g/cm2],
Temperature gradient dlnT/dlnP, Adiabatic gradient, Radiative gradient(*)
(*): The opacities are either assumed to be arbitrarily high (adiabatic models),
or represent low-limit estimates that do not include the contribution due
to
alkali metals (radiative models).
- jupiter_[A-F].zel -> Derivation of the mass of heavy elements in any
given model [jupiter_A.zel jupiter_B.zel
jupiter_C.zel jupiter_D.zel
jupiter_E.zel jupiter_F.zel
]
All masses are given in Earth masses.
"mol" refers to the (helium-poor) molecular region
"met" refers to the (helium-rich) metallic region
"env" refers to the envelope: molecular + metallic regions
"tot" refers to the entire planet: molecular + metallic regions
+ core
Yz: Equivalent helium mass mixing ratio in the
molecular region (Yz~Y+Z -see Guillot et al. 1994b)
DYz: Discontinuity of Yz accross the molecular/metallic transition
Mcore: Mass of the core
Pice: Fraction of ices in the core. 1-Pice: Fraction of rocks in the core
Mmol(Mmet): Mass of the molecular(metallic) region
Z: Mass mixing ratio of heavy elements
MZ: Mass of heavy elements
The different values of MZ derived depend on (1) the EOS for heavy elements,
(2) the composition of heavy elements (e.g. rocks, or ices),
(3) the atmospheric and protosolar helium mass mixing ratios (Y).
- readplot.pro -> IDL script that reads these
files and produces simple plots.
