The rings and small moons of Uranus and Neptune. [PDF]

open access: yesPhilos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2020
All four giant planets are encircled by distinctive systems of rings and small, inner satellites. These all reside within or near their central planet's Roche limit, the rough boundary within which bodies held together by self-gravity will be disrupted ...

La interpelación desajustada como “acontecimiento habitual”. Imaginación política, constitución subjetiva y disidencia sexogenérica en la transición de Paul Preciado

open access: yesConfluenze, 2022
In An Apartment on Uranus: Chronicles of the Crossing Paul Preciado presents a scene that he describes as a "usual event" in the lives of trans people when showing their official IDs. Upon that, and based on Judith Butler's questioning of Louis Althusser'

The role of ice lines in the formation of Uranus and Neptune

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020
We aim at investigating whether the chemical composition of the outer region of the protosolar nebula can be consistent with current estimates of the elemental abundances in the ice giants.

Could Uranus and Neptune form by collisions of planetary embryos? [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
The origin of Uranus and Neptune remains a challenge for planet formation models. A potential explanation is that the planets formed from a population of a few planetary embryos with masses of a few Earth masses which formed beyond Saturn’s orbit and ...

The mythological and archaeological perspectives on penectomy and orchiectomy: The case of Cybele and Attis

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Castration has been a significant theme in mythology, religious traditions, and historical practices, often symbolizing transformation, sacrifice, and divine punishment. While the term is frequently associated with orchiectomy (removal of the testes), this study argues that penectomy (removal of the penis) must also be considered, particularly

Heat and charge transport in H2O at ice-giant conditions from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The authors here perform ab initio calculations to investigate in the heat transport properties of water at extreme pressure and temperature conditions, typically found in the interior of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune.

Natural kind reasoning in consciousness science: An alternative to theory testing

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract It is often suggested that to make progress in consciousness science we need a theory of consciousness—one that tells us what consciousness is and what kinds of systems can have it. But this may be putting the cart before the horse. There are currently a wide range of very different theories all claiming to be theories of consciousness.

Giant Planet Atmospheres: Dynamics and Variability from UV to Near-IR Hubble and Adaptive Optics Imaging

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Each of the giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, has been observed by at least one robotic spacecraft mission. However, these missions are infrequent; Uranus and Neptune have only had a single flyby by Voyager 2.
