Ocean Worlds Maintained by Ocean Tidal Heat Expected on Several Uranian Moons

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract In recent NASA decadal surveys, detecting oceans among Uranus' moons has been identified as a research priority in future missions. Currently, the prevailing view in planetary science is that the likelihood of finding oceans is highest on the larger moons, Titania and Oberon, due to their higher integrals of radiogenic heat sources.

Noise and resolution in IO interferometric sensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The paper presents a general theory for sensing devices, relating noise and device parameters to resolution of modal index changes. The theory is applied to optimise the length of a few integrated optics sensing devices, being a Mac-Zehnder ...

Outer planet mission guidance and navigation for spinning spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes
The orbit determination accuracies, maneuver results, and navigation system specification for spinning Pioneer planetary probe missions are analyzed to aid in determining the feasibility of deploying probes into the atmospheres of the outer planets ...

Early Parkes Observations of Planets and Cosmic Radio Sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We discuss early Parkes observations of the radio emission from the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus. The sensitive Parkes 11 cm system was used to detect a surprisingly high observed nighttime temperature on Mercury, the first, but ...

Effects of a giant impact on Uranus [PDF]

open access: yes
The effects of a giant impact on Uranus with respect to the axis tilt of Uranus and its satellites are discussed. The simulations of possible giant impacts were carried out using Cray supercomputers.

The Populations of Comet-Like Bodies in the Solar system

open access: yes, 2003
A new classification scheme is introduced for comet-like bodies in the Solar system. It covers the traditional comets as well as the Centaurs and Edgeworth-Kuiper belt objects.
