Physico-chemical models of the internal structure of partially differentiated Titan
We analyze models of the internal structure of Titan, a large icy satellite of the Saturn system. Calculations are carried out using information on the mass, mean density, moment of inertia, orbital…
Matching of Models of the Internal Structure and Thermal Regime of Partially Differentiated Titan with Gravity Field
The problem of matching models of the internal structure of partially differentiated Titan with experimentally measured values of Love number k2 (Iess et al., 2012; Durante et al., 2019) according to…

Interior structure models and tidal Love numbers of Titan
[1] Interior models of a differentiated Titan with an internal ammonia-water ocean and chondritic radiogenic heat production in an undifferentiated rock + iron core have been calculated. We assume…
Modeling of the thermal evolution of the cores of icy giant satellites
Questions on the composition, aggregate state, size and physical properties of the giant planets satellites cores, their thermal evolution, as well as the mechanisms of their formation, are still the…
Thermal convection in the outer shell of large icy satellites
Evolution of large icy satellites is controlled by heat transfer across the outer ice I layer. After the core overturn a possible structure consists of a silicate core and a shell of molten ices. As…

THE ROLE OF METHANOL IN THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF TITAN'S PRIMORDIAL OCEAN
A key parameter that controls the crystallization of primordial oceans in large icy moons is the presence of anti-freeze compounds, which may have maintained primordial oceans over the age of the…

Viscosity of high-pressure ice VI and evolution and dynamics of Ganymede
Current models1–5 of the evolution of the jovian satellite, Ganymede, assume that it was formed by homogeneous accretion of water ice and silicate particles (about 50 mass%) with chondritic abundance…
