<p><span lang="en-US">Juno's observations of Jupiter's gravity field have revealed extremely low values for the gravitational moments that are difficult to reconcile with the high abundance of metals observed in the atmosphere by Galileo. Recent studies chose to arbitrarily get rid of one of these two constraints in order to build models of Jupiter.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-US">In this presentation, I will detail our new Jupiter structure models reconciling Juno and Galileo observational constraints. These models confirm the need to separate Jupiter into at least 4 layers: an outer convective shell, a non-convective zone of compositional change, an inner convective shell and a diluted core representing about 60 percent of the planet in radius. Compared to other studies, these models propose a new idea with important consequences: a decrease in the quantity of metals between the outer and inner convective shells. This would imply that the atmospheric composition is not representative of the internal composition of the planet, contrary to what is regularly admitted, and would strongly impact the Jupiter formation scenarios (localization, migration, accretion).</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-US">In particular, the presence of an internal non-convective zone prevents mixing between the two convective envelopes. I will detail the physical processes of this semi-convective zone (layered convection or H-He immiscibility) and explain how they may persist during the evolution of the planet.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-US">These models also impose a limit mass on the compact core, which cannot be heavier than 5 Earth masses. Such a mass, lower than the runaway gas accretion minimum mass, needs to be explained in the light of our understanding of the formation and evolution of giant planets.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en-US">Using these models of Jupiter, I will finally detail the application of our new understanding of the interior of this planet to giant exoplanets. At a time of direct imaging of extrasolar planets and atmospheric characterization of hot Jupiters, a good understanding of the internal processes of planets in the solar system is paramount to make the best use of all the observations.</span></p>
