Radioisotope power systems utilising americium-241 as a source of heat have been under
development in Europe as part of a European Space Agency funded programme since …

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 …

The strikingly low luminosity of Uranus (T eff≃ T eq) constitutes a long-standing challenge to
our understanding of Ice Giant planets. Here we present the first Uranus structure and …

The ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, are fundamentally different from the gas giant
and terrestrial planets. Though ice giants represent the most common size of exoplanet and …

Uranus and Neptune are still poorly understood. Their gravitational fields, rotation periods,
atmosphere dynamics, and internal structures are not well determined. In this paper, we …

Uranus and Neptune, and their diverse satellite and ring systems, represent the least
explored environments of our Solar System, and yet may provide the archetype for the most …

Abstract The Neptune Odyssey mission concept is a Flagship-class orbiter and atmospheric
probe to the Neptune–Triton system. This bold mission of exploration would orbit an ice …

Thermochemical models have been used in the past to constrain the deep oxygen
abundance in the gas and ice giant planets from tropospheric CO spectroscopic …

We construct thermodynamic potentials for two superionic phases of water [with body-
centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) oxygen lattice] using a combination of …

The international planetary science community met in London in January 2020, united in the
goal of realizing the first dedicated robotic mission to the distant ice giants, Uranus and …
