Stability of H3O at extreme conditions and implications for the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Understanding the interior structure and dynamics of outer Solar System planets in terms of their component materials is a major scientific challenge.

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

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 ...

Rotation‐Controlled Diurnal Evolution of Uranus' Asymmetric Bow Shock at Equinox

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Uranus possesses the most extreme magnetic and rotational geometry in the solar system, resulting in a uniquely dynamic and asymmetric interaction between its magnetosphere and the solar wind. Here we investigate the diurnal evolution of the Uranian bow shock (BS) at equinox using global multifluid magnetohydrodynamic simulations constrained ...

Ultraviolet geometric albedo of Uranus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
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.

Different Inhomogeneous Evolutionary Histories for Uranus and Neptune

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present updated nonadiabatic and inhomogeneous evolution models for Uranus and Neptune, employing an interior composition of methane, ammonia, water, and rocks.

What Observations Would an Energetic Neutral Atom Imager Have Made During the Voyager 2 Flyby of Uranus?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present large‐scale simulations of energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions at Uranus from a spacecraft viewpoint. Models of magnetic field, extended hydrogen exosphere, moon‐sourced neutral tori, and proton radiation belt are implemented into a simulator to evaluate the production of ENAs for L $L$ = 1–15.

Uranus, Neptune, and Exoplanets

open access: yes, 2013
This chapter focuses on the climates of Uranus, Neptune, and exoplanets. Uranus spins on its side, which allows a comparison between sunlight and rotation for their effects on weather patterns. In contrast to Venus, Uranus is only weakly affcted by tides

Bifurcation in the history of Uranus and Neptune: the role of giant impacts [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
Despite many similarities, there are significant observed differences between Uranus and Neptune: While Uranus is tilted and has a regular set of satellites, suggesting their accretion from a disc, Neptune’s moons are irregular and are captured objects.
