Ariel’s Medial Grooves: Spreading Centers on a Candidate Ocean World

The Planetary Science Journal
We present evidence that Ariel's massive chasma-medial groove systems formed via spreading, where internally sourced material ascended and formed new crust.

Internal Heat Flux and Energy Imbalance of Uranus

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.
Abstract With its extreme axial tilt, Uranus' radiant energy budget (REB) and internal heat flux remain among the most intriguing mysteries in our solar system. By combining observations with modeling, we present the global REB over a complete orbital period (1946–2030), revealing significant seasonal variations.

Variation of Model‐Predicted Reconnection Voltages Applied to Uranus' Dayside Magnetosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Uranus provides a key missing piece for fundamentally understanding solar wind‐magnetospheric interactions due to its location in the outer solar system. Whether the viscous‐like interaction overtakes global magnetic reconnection as the dominant process at the magnetopause of the outer planets remains unresolved.

Cratering and Tectonic History of the Largest Uranian Satellite, Titania: New Insights Enabled by Image Reprocessing

The Planetary Science Journal
From heavily cratered Umbriel to extensively tectonized Miranda, Titania is an intermediary of the Uranian system: heavily cratered, yet tectonically modified. An outstanding mystery in Titania's crater population is its apparent relative lack of large (>

Tracing the Source of Carbon Oxides on the Large Moons of Uranus

The Planetary Science Journal
The Uranian moons Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon are enriched in CO _2 mixed with CO, but the origin(s) of these carbon oxides, be they primarily native or radiolytic, remain(s) uncertain.

Properties of the Irregular Satellite System around Uranus Inferred from K2, Herschel, and Spitzer Observations [PDF]

, 2017
In this paper, we present visible-range light curves of the irregular Uranian satellites Sycorax, Caliban, Prospero, Ferdinand, and Setebos taken with the Kepler Space Telescope over the course of the K2 mission.

Control of colocated geostationary satellites [PDF]

, 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

The discovery of faint irregular satellites of Uranus

, 2004
We report the discovery of four new uranian irregular satellites in our deep, mR 3c25.4, optical search around that planet. The orbital properties of these satellites are diverse.

JWST Reveals the Kuiper Belt–like Compositions of the Uranian Rings and Small Moons

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the JWST NIRSpec 1–5 μ m spectra of the Uranian rings and four ring moons: Puck, Perdita, Portia, and Juliet. We find that the compositions of the rings and moons strongly resemble water-type Kuiper Belt objects, showing deep 3.0 μ m O–H and ...
