Atmospheric chemistry on Uranus and Neptune [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2020
Comparatively little is known about atmospheric chemistry on Uranus and Neptune, because remote spectral observations of these cold, distant ‘Ice Giants’ are challenging, and each planet has only been visited by a single spacecraft during brief flybys in

Uranus and Neptune: Shape and rotation

open access: yesIcarus, 2010
Both Uranus and Neptune are thought to have strong zonal winds with velocities of several hundred meters per second. These wind velocities, however, assume solid-body rotation periods based on Voyager 2 measurements of periodic variations in the planets ’

Uranus: Microwave Images

Science, 1984
Observations of Uranus at wavelengths of 2 and 6 centimeters with the Very Large Array were made in 1980 and 1981. The resulting maps of brightness temperature show a subsolar symmetry at 2 centimeters but a near-polar symmetry at 6 centimeters. The 6-centimeter maps show an increase in temperature from equator to pole with some evidence for a warm ...

Searching for Subsurface Oceans on the Moons of Uranus Using Magnetic Induction

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The icy moons of Uranus may contain subsurface oceans. Such oceans could be detected and characterized using measurements of magnetic fields induced by Uranus' time‐varying magnetospheric field.
