Contrasting C/O ratios in Uranus and Neptune from disequilibrium chemistry: A clue to distinct evolutionary pathways?
T. Briand, V. Hue, O. Mousis +4
The formation of Uranus and Neptune remains poorly constrained largely due to uncertain deep elemental abundances. Carbon monoxide (CO), a disequilibrium species in the upper tropo…
Recipes for forming a carbon-rich giant planet
Olivier Mousis, Thibault Cavalié, Jonathan I. Lunine +9
The exploration of carbon-to-oxygen ratios has yielded intriguing insights into the composition of close-in giant exoplanets, giving rise to a distinct classification: carbon-rich…
Evidence of a Polar Cyclone on Uranus from VLA Observations
Alex Akins, Mark Hofstadter, Bryan Butler +4
We present observations of Uranus in northern spring with the VLA from 0.7 cm to 5 cm. These observations reveal details in thermal emission from Uranus' north pole at 10s of bars,…
Deep Atmosphere Composition, Structure, Origin, and Exploration, with Particular Focus on Critical in situ Science at the Icy Giants
Sushil K. Atreya, Mark H. Hofstadter, Joong Hyun In +3
A comprehensive exploration of Uranus and Neptune is essential to understand the formation and evolution of the giant planets, in particular, solar system, in general, and, by exte…
Exploration Strategy for the Outer Planets 2023-2032: Goals and Priorities
Jeff Moore, Linda Spilker, Morgan Cable +12
The outer solar system has a diverse range of objects, holding important clues about the formation and evolution of our solar system, the emergence and current distribution of life…
