A Numerical Investigation of the Berg Feature on Uranus as a Vortex-Driven System
Atmosphere, 2020 The Berg cloud feature in the atmosphere of Uranus was first identified as a persistent grouping of clouds located just off the bright South Polar Collar at a latitude of around −34 degrees.

Comparative Study on Planetary Magnetosphere in the Solar System
Sensors, 2020 The magnetospheric responses to solar wind of Mercury, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus are compared via magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The tilt angle of each planetary field and the polarity of solar wind are also considered.

The interiors of Uranus and Neptune: current understanding and open questions [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020 Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our Solar System. Given this fact, and ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their interior structure and composition.

Modern Astronomy in Ottoman Madrasa Circles in the First Half of the 19th Century [PDF]
Nazariyat: Journal for the History of Islamic Philosophy and Sciences, 2021 The use of telescopes for scientific purposes has significantly changed our knowledge of the structure of the Solar System. By the mid-19th century, two new planets, a dozen asteroids, and dozens of satellites had been added to the five planets known ...

Co-accretion + Giant Impact Origin of the Uranus System: Post-impact Evolution
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We investigate aspects of the co-accretion + giant impact scenario proposed by Morbidelli et al. (2012) for the origin of the Uranian satellites. In this model, a regular satellite system formed during gas accretion is impulsively destabilized by a ...

The Upper Atmosphere of Uranus from Stellar Occultations. I. Methods and Validation
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its flybys of Uranus in 1986 found warm stratospheric and hot thermospheric temperatures that cannot be explained by solar energy alone.
