Ultraviolet geometric albedo of Uranus [PDF]
The purpose was to obtain ultraviolet flux measurements of Uranus before and after the January 1986 flyby past Uranus by Voyager. These measurements were used to determine absolute flux distributions in the wavelength range 1950 to 3200 A.

Setting the Stage for Uranian Seismology from Rings and Radial Velocities
The Planetary Science JournalA Uranus orbiter would be well positioned to detect the planet’s free oscillation modes, whose frequencies can resolve questions about Uranus’s weakly constrained interior.

The 10 February 1977 lunar occultation of Uranus. Radius, limb darkening, and polar brightening at 6900 A [PDF]
Contact timings, corrected for lunar limb effects, indicate an equatorial radius of 25700 + or - 500 km for the visible disk for Uranus. A modified Minnaert function is used to model limb darkening and polar brightening.
