Can D-D fusion contribute to Jupiter's excess heat?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We explore the highly speculative idea of Deuterium - Deuterium (D-D) fusion inside Jupiter as an internal heating source. We suggest that D could have been brought deep inside the planet by planetesimals (during the process of planet formation) and deposited through planetesimal/ices vaporization. Here, the general aspects of the model are presented.
