Jupiter’s Interior with an Inverted Helium Gradient
Jupiter’s gravity field observed by NASA’s Juno spacecraft indicates that the density in the 10–100 GPa region is lower than one would expect from a H/He adiabat with 0.5–5× solar water abundance, as has been observationally inferred in Jupiter’s atmosphere, supported by the 2–4× solar enrichment in...
