Abstract

Juno data can be used to better constrain Jupiter’s internal structure and origin. First, we present Jupiter’s primordial
internal structure based on formation models and show that Jupiter’s core might not be distinct from the
envelope, and that the deep interior can have a gradual heavy-element structure. Second, we explore how such a
primordial (non-adiabatic) interior affects Jupiter’s long-term evolution. Finally, we will discuss the link between
these formation and evolution models and Jupiter’s current-state internal structure.
