The Orbits of Uranus, Its Satellites and Rings, the Gravity Field of the Uranian System, and the Orientation of the Poles of Uranus and Its Satellites

The Astronomical Journal
R. A. Jacobson determined the orbits of the Uranian satellites, the masses of Uranus and its satellites, and the orientation of the pole of Uranus from Earth-based astrometry, Earth-based ring occultations, and observations acquired with the Voyager 2 ...

The Case for a New Frontiers–Class Uranus Orbiter: System Science at an Underexplored and Unique World with a Mid-scale Mission

The Planetary Science Journal, 2022
Current knowledge of the Uranian system is limited to observations from the flyby of Voyager 2 and limited remote observations. However, Uranus remains a highly compelling scientific target due to the unique properties of many aspects of the planet ...

Thermodynamics of diamond formation from hydrocarbon mixtures in planets [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
This study combines computational chemistry and machine learning to provide insight on whether diamonds can form inside ice giants. This can help explain the dichotomy of Uranus and Neptune.

Designing Trajectories to Uranus Using Particle Swarm Optimization [PDF]

, 2023
As the interest in interplanetary missions becomes more prevalent in the modern day, two planets have been infrequently visited, Uranus and Neptune. Yet, the 2013-2022 and 2023-2032 Decadal Surveys have placed high priority on Uranus missions.

Phase separation of planetary ices explains nondipolar magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Significance The Voyager spacecraft measured that Uranus and Neptune have nondipolar magnetic fields while strong dipole fields had been expected. Stanley and Bloxham thus proposed that the magnetic fields be generated only in a thin outer layer.
