Inclination of Miranda as a Constraint on the Tidal Dissipation of Uranus

The Planetary Science Journal
The five major moons of Uranus record a complicated geological history characterized by both tectonic resurfacing and heavy impact cratering, connecting their evolution to dynamical processes in the solar system.

Enhanced Precipitation of Energetic Protons Due to Uranus' Asymmetric Magnetic Field

Geophysical Research Letters
Uranus remains one of the most unexplored planets in our solar system, featuring a distinctive magnetic field structure first observed by NASA's Voyager 2 mission almost 40 years ago.

Ice Giants Revisited: Uranus and Neptune as Magma Ocean Worlds

The Astrophysical Journal
Uranus and Neptune are commonly interpreted as volatile-rich “ice giants,” an assumption that underpins most interior models. Here we show that their observed radii, bulk densities, gravitational harmonics, normalized moments of inertia, intrinsic ...

New Moons of Uranus and Neptune from Ultradeep Pencil-beam Surveys

The Astronomical Journal
We have conducted extremely ultradeep pencil-beam observations for new satellites around both Uranus and Neptune. Tens of images on several different nights in 2021, 2022, and 2023 were obtained, shifted, and added together to reach as faint as 26.9 and ...

Towards an agnostic algorithm for sampling empirical structure models

Astronomy & Astrophysics
We present an algorithm to efficiently sample the full space of planetary interior density profiles. Our approach uses as few assumptions as possible to pursue an agnostic algorithm.

Is the Uranus Heat Flow Puzzling?

Geophysical Research Letters
The low internal heat flow of Uranus has been confirmed and determined for the first time. It may be representative of the average rather than a fluctuation due to the unusual seasonal or condensation cycles. The very different value for Neptune suggests
