Voyager observations of 1985U1 [PDF]
, 1987 Of the 10 small Uranian satellites, 1985U1 is the largest and the only one for which a resolved image was obtained by Voyager 2. In terms of albedo, the other nine satellites seem to be similar.

Cryovolcanism on the icy satellites
, 1994 Evidence of past cryovolcanism is widespread and extremely varied on the icy satellites. Some cryovolcanic landscapes, notably on Triton, are similar to many silicate volcanic terrains, including what appear to be volcanic rifts, calderas and solidified ...

Tidal evolution of planetary satellites [PDF]
, 1991 Early in the history of the Solar System, Europa and Ganymede may have evolved through a 3:1 mean-motion commensurability, which would have been encountered prior to the establishment of the current Laplace resonance involving Io, Europa, and Ganymede ...

Cupid is Doomed: An Analysis of the Stability of the Inner Uranian Satellites
, 2014 We have explored the stability of the inner Uranian satellites using simulations based on the most recent observational data. We find that, across a wide range of mass assumptions, the system is unstable, resulting in the eventual crossing of orbits and ...

Dynamique des satellites d'Uranus [PDF]
, 2014 Uranus and its complex and unexpected system of moons are still today a mystery of the solar system. This thesis focuses on the dynamics of these natural satellites, and discusses their orbital and internal evolutions, in the future as in the past. These

Dynamical evolution of the Uranian satellite system I. From the 5/3 Ariel-Umbriel mean motion resonance to the present [PDF]
Mutual gravitational interactions between the five major Uranian satellites raise small quasi-periodic fluctuations on their orbital elements. At the same time, tidal interactions between the satellites and the planet induce a slow outward drift of the ...
