Measurements of the chemical composition of the giant planets provide clues of their formation and evolution processes. According
to the currently accepted nucleation model, giant planets formed from the initial accretion of an icy core and the capture
of the protosolar gas, mosly composed of hydrogen and helium. In the case of Jupiter and Saturn (the gaseous giants), this
gaseous component dominates the composition of the planet, while for Uranus and Neptune (the icy giants) it is only a small
fraction of the total mass. The measurement of elemental and isotopic ratios in the giant planets provides key diagnostics
of this model, as it implies an enrichment in heavy elements (as well as deuterium) with respect to the cosmic composition.
Neutral atmospheric constituents in the giant planets have three possible sources: (1) internal (fromthe bulk composition
of the planet), (2) photochemical (fromthe photolysis ofmethane) and(3) external (from meteoritic impacts, of local or interplanetary
origin). This paper reviews our present knowledge about the atmospheric composition in the giant planets, and their elemental
and istopic composition. Measurements concerning key parameters, like C/H, D/H or rare gases in Jupiter, are analysed in detail.
The conclusion addresses open questions and observations to be performed in the future. 相似文献

Models of the origins of gas giant planets and ‘ice’ giant planets are discussed and related to formation theories of both
smaller objects (terrestrial planets) and larger bodies (stars). The most detailed models of planetary formation are based
upon observations of our own Solar System, of young stars and their environments, and of extrasolar planets. Stars form from
the collapse, and sometimes fragmentation, of molecular cloud cores. Terrestrial planets are formed within disks around young
stars via the accumulation of small dust grains into larger and larger bodies until the planetary orbits become well enough
separated that the configuration is stable for the lifetime of the system. Uranus and Neptune almost certainly formed via
a bottom-up (terrestrial planet-like) mechanism; such a mechanism is also the most likely origin scenario for Saturn and Jupiter. 相似文献

We review observations and theories of radio wave emissions from the outer planets. These include radio emissions from the
auroral regions and from the radiation belts, low-frequency electromagnetic emissions, and atmospheric lightning. For each
of these emissions, we present in more details our knowledge of the Saturn counterpart, as well as expectations for Cassini.
We summarize the capabilities of the radio instrument onboard Cassini, observations performed during the Jupiter flyby, and
first (remote) observations of Saturn. Open questions are listed along with the specific observations that may bring responses
to them. The coordinated observations (from the ground and from space) that would be valuable to perform in parallel to Cassini
measurements are briefly discussed. Finally, we outline future missions and perspectives. 相似文献

On the giant planets and Titan, like on the terrestrial planets, aerosols play an important
part in the physico-chemistry of the upper atmosphere (P ≤ 0.5 bar). Above all, aerosols significantly affect radiative transfer
processes, mainly through light scattering, thus influencing the atmospheric energy budget and dynamics. Because there is
usually significant coupling between atmospheric circulation and haze production, aerosols may constitute useful tracers of
atmospheric dynamics.More generally, since their production is directly linked to some kind of energy deposition, their study
may also provide clues to external sources of energy as well as their variability. Finally, aerosols indirectly influence
other processes such as cloud formation and disequilibrium chemistry, by acting either as condensation nuclei or as reaction
sites for surface chemistry. Here, I present a review of observational and modeling results based on remote sensing data,
and also some insights derived from laboratory simulations. Despite our knowledge of the effects of aerosols in outer planetary
atmospheres, however, relatively little is understood about the pathways which produce them, either endogenously (as end-products
of gas-phase photochemical or shock reactions) or exogenously (as residues of meteroid ablation). 相似文献

In seeking to understand the formation of the giant planets and the origin of their atmospheres, the heavy element abundance
in well-mixed atmosphere is key. However, clouds come in the way. Thus, composition and condensation are intimately intertwined
with the mystery of planetary formation and atmospheric origin. Clouds also provide important clues to dynamical processes
in the atmosphere. In this chapter we discuss the thermochemical processes that determine the composition, structure, and
characteristics of the Jovian clouds. We also discuss the significance of clouds in the big picture of the formation of giant
planets and their atmospheres. We recommend multiprobes at all four giant planets in order to break new ground. 相似文献

The rapidly rotating giant planets of the outer solar system all possess strong dynamo-driven magnetic fields that carve a large cavity in the flowing magnetized solar wind. Each planet brings a unique facet to the study of planetary magnetism. Jupiter possesses the largest planetary magnetic moment, 1.55×1020 Tm3, 2×104 times larger than the terrestrial magnetic moment whose axis of symmetry is offset about 10° from the rotation axis, a tilt angle very similar to that of the Earth. Saturn has a dipole magnetic moment of 4.6×1018 Tm3 or 600 times that of the Earth, but unlike the Earth and Jupiter, the tilt of this magnetic moment is less than 1° to the rotation axis. The other two gas giants, Uranus and Neptune, have unusual magnetic fields as well, not only because of their tilts but also because of the harmonic content of their internal fields. Uranus has two anomalous tilts, of its rotation axis and of its dipole axis. Unlike the other planets, the rotation axis of Uranus is tilted 97.5° to the normal to its orbital plane. Its magnetic dipole moment of 3.9×1017 Tm3 is about 50 times the terrestrial moment with a tilt angle of close to 60° to the rotation axis of the planet. In contrast, Neptune with a more normal obliquity has a magnetic moment of 2.2×1017 Tm3 or slightly over 25 times the terrestrial moment. The tilt angle of this moment is 47°, smaller than that of Uranus but much larger than those of the Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. These two planets have such high harmonic content in their fields that the single flyby of Voyager was unable to resolve the higher degree coefficients accurately. The four gas giants have no apparent surface features that reflect the motion of the deep interior, so the magnetic field has been used to attempt to provide this information. This approach works very well at Jupiter where there is a significant tilt of the dipole and a long baseline of magnetic field measurements (Pioneer 10 to Galileo). The rotation rate is 870.536° per day corresponding to a (System III) period of 9 h 55 min 26.704 s. At Saturn, it has been much more difficult to determine the equivalent rotation period. The most probable rotation period of the interior is close to 10 h 33 min, but at this writing, the number is still uncertain. For Uranus and Neptune, the magnetic field is better suited for the determination of the planetary rotation period but the baseline is too short. While it is possible that the smaller planetary bodies of the outer solar system, too, have magnetic fields or once had, but the current missions to Vesta, Ceres and Pluto do not include magnetic measurements. 相似文献

The formation of the giant planets seems to be best explained by accretion of planetesimals to form massive cores, which in the case of Jupiter and Saturn were able to capture nebular gas. However, the timescale for accretion of such cores has been a problem. Accretion in the outer solar system differs qualitatively from planetary growth in the terrestrial region, as the larger embryo masses and lower orbital velocities make bodies more subject to gravitational scattering. The planetesimal swarm in the outer nebula may be seeded by earlier-formed large bodies scattered from the region near the nebular “snow line”. Such a seed body can experience rapid runaway growth undisturbed by competitors; the style of growth is not oligarchy, but monarchy. 相似文献

Planetary upper atmospheres-coexisting thermospheres and ionospheres-form an important boundary between the planet itself
and interplanetary space. The solar wind and radiation from the Sun may react with the upper atmosphere directly, as in the
case of Venus. If the planet has a magnetic field, however, such interactions are mediated by the magnetosphere, as in the
case of the Earth. All of the Solar System’s giant planets have magnetic fields of various strengths, and interactions with
their space environments are thus mediated by their respective magnetospheres. This article concentrates on the consequences
of magnetosphere-atmosphere interactions for the physical conditions of the thermosphere and ionosphere. In particular, we
wish to highlight important new considerations concerning the energy balance in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter and Saturn,
and the role that coupling between the ionosphere and thermosphere may play in establishing and regulating energy flows and
temperatures there. This article also compares the auroral activity of Earth, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. The Earth’s behaviour
is controlled, externally, by the solar wind. But Jupiter’s is determined by the co-rotation or otherwise of the equatorial
plasmasheet, which is internal to the planet’s magnetosphere. Despite being rapid rotators, like Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus
appear to have auroral emissions that are mainly under solar (wind) control. For Jupiter and Saturn, it is shown that Joule
heating and “frictional” effects, due to ion-neutral coupling can produce large amounts of energy that may account for their
high exospheric temperatures. 相似文献

Because the solar radiation and particle environment plays a major role in all atmospheric processes such as ionization, dissociation,
heating of the upper atmospheres, and thermal and non-thermal atmospheric loss processes, the long-time evolution of planetary
atmospheres and their water inventories can only be understood within the context of the evolving Sun. We compare the effect
of solar induced X-ray and EUV (XUV) heating on the upper atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars since the time when the Sun
arrived at the Zero-Age-Main-Sequence (ZAMS) about 4.6 Gyr ago. We apply a diffusive-gravitational equilibrium and thermal
balance model for studying heating of the early thermospheres by photodissociation and ionization processes, due to exothermic
chemical reactions and cooling by IR-radiating molecules like CO2, NO, OH, etc. Our model simulations result in extended thermospheres for early Earth, Venus and Mars. The exospheric temperatures
obtained for all the three planets during this time period lead to diffusion-limited hydrodynamic escape of atomic hydrogen
and high Jeans’ escape rates for heavier species like H2, He, C, N, O, etc. The duration of this blow-off phase for atomic hydrogen depends essentially on the mixing ratios of CO2, N2 and H2O in the atmospheres and could last from ∼100 to several hundred million years. Furthermore, we study the efficiency of various
non-thermal atmospheric loss processes on Venus and Mars and investigate the possible protecting effect of the early martian
magnetosphere against solar wind induced ion pick up erosion. We find that the early martian magnetic field could decrease
the ion-related non-thermal escape rates by a great amount. It is possible that non-magnetized early Mars could have lost
its whole atmosphere due to the combined effect of its extended upper atmosphere and a dense solar wind plasma flow of the
young Sun during about 200 Myr after the Sun arrived at the ZAMS. Depending on the solar wind parameters, our model simulations
for early Venus show that ion pick up by strong solar wind from a non-magnetized planet could erode up to an equivalent amount
of ∼250 bar of O+ ions during the first several hundred million years. This accumulated loss corresponds to an equivalent mass of ∼1 terrestrial
ocean (TO (1 TO ∼1.39×1024 g or expressed as partial pressure, about 265 bar, which corresponds to ∼2900 m average depth)). Finally, we discuss and
compare our findings with the results of preceding studies. 相似文献

The processes of planet formation in our Solar System resulted in a final product of a small number of discreet planets and planetesimals characterized by clear compositional distinctions. A key advance on this subject was provided when nucleosynthetic isotopic variability was discovered between different meteorite groups and the terrestrial planets. This information has now been coupled with theoretical models of planetesimal growth and giant planet migration to better understand the nature of the materials accumulated into the terrestrial planets. First order conclusions include that carbonaceous chondrites appear to contribute a much smaller mass fraction to the terrestrial planets than previously suspected, that gas-driven giant planet migration could have pushed volatile-rich material into the inner Solar System, and that planetesimal formation was occurring on a sufficiently rapid time scale that global melting of asteroid-sized objects was instigated by radioactive decay of 26Al. The isotopic evidence highlights the important role of enstatite chondrites, or something with their mix of nucleosynthetic components, as feedstock for the terrestrial planets. A common degree of depletion of moderately volatile elements in the terrestrial planets points to a mechanism that can effectively separate volatile and refractory elements over a spatial scale the size of the whole inner Solar System. The large variability in iron to silicon ratios between both different meteorite groups and between the terrestrial planets suggests that mechanisms that can segregate iron metal from silicate should be given greater importance in future investigations. Such processes likely include both density separation of small grains in the nebula, but also preferential impact erosion of either the mantle or core from differentiated planets/planetesimals. The latter highlights the important role for giant impacts and collisional erosion during the late stages of planet formation. 相似文献

In this review we present the main results obtained by the ISO satellite on the abundance and spatial distribution of water
vapor in the direction of molecular clouds, evolved stars, galaxies, and in the bodies of our Solar System. We also discuss
the modeling of H2O and the difficulties found in the interpretation of the data, the need of collisional rates and the perspectives that future
high angular and high spectral resolution observations of H2O with the Herschel Space Observatory will open. 相似文献

The dynamics of the solar corona as observed during solar minimum with the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer, UVCS, on
SOHO is discussed. The large quiescent coronal streamers existing during this phase of the solar cycle are very likely composed
by sub-streamers, formed by closed loops and separated by open field lines that are channelling a slow plasma that flows close
to the heliospheric current sheet. The polar coronal holes, with magnetic topology significantly varying from their core to
their edges, emit fast wind in their central region and slow wind close to the streamer boundary. The transition from fast
to slow wind then appears to be gradual in the corona, in contrast with the sharp transition between the two wind regimes
observed in the heliosphere. It is suggested that speed, abundance and kinetic energy of the wind are modulated by the topology
of the coronal magnetic field. Energy deposition occurs both in the slow and fast wind but its effect on the kinetic temperature
and expansion rate is different for the slow and fast wind. 相似文献

Planetesimals formed in the solar nebula by collisional coagulation. Dust aggregates settled toward the central plane, the larger ones growing by sweeping up smaller ones. A thin, dense layer of particles formed; shear-generated turbulence and differential motions induced by gas drag inhibited gravitational instability. Growth proceeded by collisions, producing planetesimals on a timescale of a few thousand years in the terrestrial zone. For bodies smaller than about a kilometer, motions were dominated by gas drag, and impact velocities decreased with size. At larger sizes gravitational interactions became significant, and velocities increased due to mutual perturbations. Larger bodies then grew more rapidly, this ``runaway' led to formation of tens to hundreds of lunar- to Mars-sized planetary embryos in the zone of terrestrial planets. The final accretion of these bodies into a few planets involved large impacts, and occurred on a timescale of 107 to 108 years. This scenario gives a reasonably consistent picture of the origin of the terrestrial planets, but does not account for the anomalously low eccentricities of the Earth and Venus.

The formation of planetary systems is intimately tied to the question of the evolution of the gas and solid material in the
early nebula. Current models of evolution of circumstellar disks are reviewed here with emphasis on the so-called “alpha models”
in which angular momentum is transported outward by turbulent viscosity, parameterized by an dimensionless parameter α. A
simple 1D model of protoplanetary disks that includes gas and embedded particles is used to introduce key questions on planetesimal
formation. This model includes the aerodynamic properties of solid ice and rock grains to calculate their migration and growth.
We show that the evolution of the nebula and migration and growth of its solids proceed on timescales that are generally not
much longer than the timescale necessary to fully form the star-disk system from the molecular cloud. Contrary to a widely
used approach, planet formation therefore can neither be studied in a static nebula nor in a nebula evolving from an arbitrary initial condition. We propose a simple approach to both account for sedimentation
from the molecular cloud onto the disk, disk evolution and migration of solids.
Giant planets have key roles in the history of the forming Solar System: they formed relatively early, when a significant
amount of hydrogen and helium were still present in the nebula, and have a mass that is a sizable fraction of the disk mass
at any given time. Their composition is also of interest because when compared to the solar composition, their enrichment
in elements other than hydrogen and helium is a witness of sorting processes that occured in the protosolar nebula. We review
likely scenarios capable of explaining both the presence of central dense cores in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and
their global composition.

Water content and the internal evolution of terrestrial planets and icy bodies are closely linked. The distribution of water in planetary systems is controlled by the temperature structure in the protoplanetary disk and dynamics and migration of planetesimals and planetary embryos. This results in the formation of planetesimals and planetary embryos with a great variety of compositions, water contents and degrees of oxidation. The internal evolution and especially the formation time of planetesimals relative to the timescale of radiogenic heating by short-lived 26Al decay may govern the amount of hydrous silicates and leftover rock–ice mixtures available in the late stages of their evolution. In turn, water content may affect the early internal evolution of the planetesimals and in particular metal-silicate separation processes. Moreover, water content may contribute to an increase of oxygen fugacity and thus affect the concentrations of siderophile elements within the silicate reservoirs of Solar System objects. Finally, the water content strongly influences the differentiation rate of the icy moons, controls their internal evolution and governs the alteration processes occurring in their deep interiors. 相似文献
