Dear Colleagues,

This week's CfA colloquium speaker is Prof. Yamila Miguel
<http://yamilamiguel.com/> of Leiden University.  She will be visiting CfA
from late Wednesday afternoon through Friday.  Prof. Miguel will speak on
Thursday about new insights on the interior structure of Jupiter based on
gravity measurements from the NASA Juno mission
<https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/main/index.html>.  Her talk title
and abstract are appended below.  She is also an expert on the chemistry of
exoplanet atmospheres and planet formation more generally.

If you are interested in meeting with Prof. Miguel, please sign up directly
on her visit spreadsheet

*“Jupiter internal structure and the first Juno results”*


The key to understand our origins is in the interiors and atmospheres of
the giant planets. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our system and the most
influential one: its large mass shaped the architecture of the solar system
and due to its fast formation it contains valuable information of the solar
system formation history.

In orbit since July 2016, the first orbits of the Juno mission have led to
a remarkable improvement of the planet gravity data, changing our knowledge
of the planetary interior and leading to a much better comprehension of the
giant planet and its role in the solar system.


In this seminar, I will present the new Juno results, the models we use to
understand Jupiter's interior and its differential rotation, and the main
challenges and questions that remained to be solved.
