| Abstract: | This paper models the structures of the Jovian atmospheres and cores by a simple analytical algorithm, which does not require the use of a computer. The method known as the MDV (Motz-Doorish Variable) method was first reported in the Irish Astronomical Journal (1989). It is a method to solve the Stellar Interior Equations (SIE) which dictate the structure of a star and/or the Jovian planets (Bodenheimer, 1986). The results are compared mainly, to the work of Stevenson (1982b) and found to be very agreeable. We include tabulated results of both the atmospheres and cores of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. |
