HIGH PRESSURE PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY IN GIANT PLANETS AND THEIR SATELLITES

D. Stevenson

The deep interiors of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their satellites are discussed. The important issues relevant to the physics of condensed matter are identified. The discussion emphasizes H2, H-He, H2-H2O, H2-CH4, NH3, and CH4.5.75H2O. Present and future theory and experiment are of great benefit t o planetary science.
