Evolution of Semiconvective Staircases in Rotating Flows: Consequences for Fuzzy Cores in Giant Planets

Recent observational constraints on the internal structure of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that these planets have “fuzzy” cores, i.e., gradients of the concentration of heavy elements that might span a large fraction of the planet’s radius. These cores could be composed of a semiconvective staircase,...
