Material Properties of Saturn’s Interior from Ab Initio Simulations

We investigate the material properties of a mixture of hydrogen, helium, and oxygen representative of Saturn’s interior at pressure–temperature conditions of a recent Saturn model (see Mankovich & Fortney) with molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory. Their model consid...
