Possible In Situ Formation of Uranus and Neptune via Pebble Accretion [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The origin of Uranus and Neptune is still unknown. In particular, it has been challenging for planet formation models to form the planets in their current radial distances within the expected lifetime of the solar nebula.

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.

Modelling the seasonal cycle of Uranus’s colour and magnitude, and comparison with Neptune
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We present a quantitative analysis of the seasonal record of Uranus’s disc-averaged colour and photometric magnitude in Strömgren b and y filters (centred at 467 and 551 nm, respectively), recorded at the Lowell Observatory from 1950 to 2016, and ...

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.

Uranus ring occultation observations: 1977–2006
Icarus (New York, N.Y. 1962), 2023 The Uranian rings were discovered serendipitously on 10 March 1977 during a stellar occultation (Elliot et al., 1977a; Millis et al., 1977), and a rich set of subsequent Earth-based occultations revealed that these narrow and sharp-edged rings were ...

The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Outer solar system impact bombardment is largely unconstrained. Although recent data from the Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto systems have produced new constraints, analysis is incomplete without inclusion of the Uranus system.

Thermal evolution of Uranus and Neptune [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Thermal evolution models suggest that the luminosities of both Uranus and Neptune are inconsistent with the classical assumption of an adiabatic interior.

The Magnetosphere of Uranus [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982 The magnetosphere of a planet, as the name implies, is the region surrounding the planet in which the planetary magnetic field plays a dominant role in determining the behaviour of the medium. The inner boundary of a magnetosphere is the surface of the planet if it has no significant atmosphere (as in the case of Mercury), or the lower ionosphere in ...

Superionic Silica-Water and Silica-Hydrogen Compounds in the Deep Interiors of Uranus and Neptune. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Silica, water, and hydrogen are known to be the major components of celestial bodies, and have significant influence on the formation and evolution of giant planets, such as Uranus and Neptune.
