Interiors and Surfaces of Terrestrial Planets and Major Satellites
To reliably advance in studies of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, a solid understanding of our own planetary neighborhood is needed beforehand....
-
Plasmas in Planetary Interiors
We give an overview of the properties of matter in planetary interiors. Of special interest are the equation of state and the conductivities. This...

Tidal Dissipation in Giant Planets
Tidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins, and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system,...

Web of resonances and possible path of evolution of the small Uranian satellites
Satellite systems around giant planets are immersed in a region of complex resonant configurations. Understanding the role of satellite resonances...

Uranus and Neptune are key to understand planets with hydrogen atmospheres
Uranus and Neptune are the last unexplored planets of the Solar System. I show that they hold crucial keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics and...

Geophysical Characterization of the Interiors of Ganymede, Callisto and Europa by ESA’s JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of ESA was launched on 14 April 2023 and will arrive at Jupiter and its moons in July 2031. In this review...

The Role of Interactions Between Stars and Their Planets
Stars interact with their close-by planets by tides, radiation, and magnetic fields. This chapter briefly introduces such interactions focusing on...

The Exosphere as a Boundary: Origin and Evolution of Airless Bodies in the Inner Solar System and Beyond Including Planets with Silicate Atmospheres
In this review we discuss all the relevant solar/stellar radiation and plasma parameters and processes that act together in the formation and...

Io as an Analog for Tidally Heated Exoplanets
Jupiter’s moon Io is unique in our Solar System. A rocky body orbiting close to its parent planet, in resonant orbits with its sibling satellites, Io...

The Demographics of Close-In Planets
The large sample of presently-known exoplanetary systems orbiting within a few au from their parent stars has enabled detailed studies of their...

Ice-Ocean Exchange Processes in the Jovian and Saturnian Satellites
A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water...

Generation of Unbound Comets and Planets by Planetary Systems
AbstractWe present a three-dimensional model of the evolution of the asteroid–cometary–planetary (ACP) component of the Solar System under the...

Tops in the Sky
Rotation around a body fixed axis is a general feature of all astrophysical objects. Stars, planets, satellites, asteroids, and comets all share this...
