Internal Heat Flux and Energy Imbalance of Uranus

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
With its extreme axial tilt, Uranus' radiant energy budget (REB) and internal heat flux remain among the most intriguing mysteries in our solar system.

New Moons of Uranus and Neptune from Ultradeep Pencil-beam Surveys

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We have conducted extremely ultradeep pencil-beam observations for new satellites around both Uranus and Neptune. Tens of images on several different nights in 2021, 2022, and 2023 were obtained, shifted, and added together to reach as faint as 26.9 and ...

Towards an agnostic algorithm for sampling empirical structure models

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present an algorithm to efficiently sample the full space of planetary interior density profiles. Our approach uses as few assumptions as possible to pursue an agnostic algorithm.

Is the Uranus Heat Flow Puzzling?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The low internal heat flow of Uranus has been confirmed and determined for the first time. It may be representative of the average rather than a fluctuation due to the unusual seasonal or condensation cycles. The very different value for Neptune suggests

Uranus' Complex Internal Structure

open access: yes
Uranus' bulk composition remains unknown. Although there are clear indications that Uranus' interior is not fully convective, and therefore has a non-adiabatic temperature profile, many interior models continue to assume an adiabatic interior.

Rings of Uranus

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
Using sophisticated computer enhancement techniques, two astronomers have been able to clearly “photograph” the rings of Uranus (Figure 1). The photographs show that the rings are made of particles that are perhaps the darkest found in the solar system. Creating clear images of the rings is a feat that has proved extremely difficult in the past because

Understanding the Transport Properties of Methane–Hydrogen Mixtures under the Interior Conditions of Ice Giants

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Inaccuracy in our knowledge of the transport properties of relevant mixtures under planetary interior conditions is a roadblock in predicting the observable properties of planets in our solar system and beyond.
