Existence of undiscovered Uranian satellites [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Structure in the Uranian ring system as observed in recent occultations may contain indirect evidence for the existence of undiscovered satellites. Using the Alfven and Arrhenius (1975, 1976) scenario for the formation of planetary systems, the orbital radii of up to nine hypothetical satellites interior to Miranda are computed.

Spectroscopic Links among Giant Planet Irregular Satellites and Trojans [PDF]

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We collect near-infrared spectra (∼0.75–2.55 μ m) of four Jovian irregular satellites and visible spectra (∼0.32–1.00 μ m) of two Jovian irregular satellites, two Uranian irregular satellites, and four Neptune Trojans.

Predictions of the mutual events of the Uranian satellites occurring in 2006–2009 [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2006
Context. Every 42 years, the Earth and the Sun pass through the equatorial plane of Uranus allowing observations of mutual occultations and eclipses of the main satellites of Uranus. The next opportunity will occur in 2006-2009. Aims. Such events are uncommon and very rare, and they allow us to accurately determine the inclinations of the orbits of the

THE ORBITS OF THE URANIAN SATELLITES AND RINGS, THE GRAVITY FIELD OF THE URANIAN SYSTEM, AND THE ORIENTATION OF THE POLE OF URANUS

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2014
French et al. determined the orbits of the Uranian rings, the orientation of the pole of Uranus, and the gravity harmonics of Uranus from Earth-based and Voyager ring occultations. Jacobson et al. determined the orbits of the Uranian satellites and the masses of Uranus and its satellites from Earth-based astrometry and observations acquired with the ...

Strong Tidal Dissipation at Uranus?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Geophysical estimates of paleo heat fluxes on the Uranian moons Miranda and Ariel are in the range of 25–75 mW m ^−2 . For a canonical Uranus dissipation factor Q = 18,000, expected equilibrium tidal heating rates for these satellites are less than 6 mW ...

Control of colocated geostationary satellites [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Control of the inter-satellite distances within a cluster of colocated satellites located in the same GEO window is examined with regards to the close approaches between pairs of satellites. Firstly, the orbital evolution and station keeping control of a
