Scientific paper

We present new results in modeling the interiors of Giant Planets (GP) and Brown Dwarfs (BD). In general models of the interior rely on equation of state data for planetary materials which have considerable uncertainties in the high-pressure domain. Our calculations are based on ab initio equation of state (EOS) data for hydrogen, helium, hydrogen-helium mixtures and water as the representative of all heavier elements or ices using finite-temperature density functional theory molecular dynamics (FT-DFT-MD) simulations. We compare results for the BD Gliese 229B calculated with Saumon-Chabrier-Van Horn EOS (SCVH95) and our EOS data.
