The Role of Solar Neutrinos in the Jupiter

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential impact of solar neutrinos on Jupiter, estimating energy transfer and speculating on possible effects despite their weak interactions.

Contribution

It presents a novel estimation of solar neutrino energy deposition in Jupiter and discusses potential effects, which has not been thoroughly analyzed before.

Findings

Solar neutrinos may deposit significant energy in Jupiter.

Potential effects of neutrino interactions on Jupiter's environment are hypothesized.

Energy transfer estimates suggest possible influence despite weak interactions.

Abstract

Judging from the fact that the planet Jupiter is bigger in size than the Earth by 10^3 while is smaller than the Sun by 10^3 and that the average distance of the Jupiter from the Sun is 5.203 a.u., the solar neutrinos, when encounter the Jupiter, may have some accumulating effects bigger than on the Earth. We begin by estimating how much energy/power carried by solar neutrinos get transferred by this unique process, to confirm that solar neutrinos, despite of their feeble neutral weak current interactions, might deposit enough energy in the Jupiter. We also speculate on the other remarkable effects.
