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 …

Core accretion is the conventional model for the formation of the gas giant planets. The
model may also apply to the icy giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, except that it may take …

Massive and water-rich planets should be ubiquitous in the universe. Many of these worlds
are expected to be subject to important irradiation from their host star, and display …

Abstract Small planets (∼ 1–3.9 Å R) constitute more than half of the inventory of the 4000-
plus exoplanets discovered so far. Smaller planets are sufficiently dense to be rocky, but …

The conceptual design for a Flagship-class Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) mission using
aerocapture is presented. Uranus is historically the least studied destination for aerocapture …

Jupiter's deep abundances help to constrain the formation history of the planet and the
environment of the protoplanetary nebula. Juno recently measured Jupiter's deep oxygen …

Recent years have seen increasing interest in sending a mission to Uranus, visited so far
only by Voyager 2 in 1986. Elliptical Uranian Relativity Orbiter is a preliminary mission …

Context. Several chemical networks have been developed to study warm (exo) planetary
atmospheres. The kinetics of the reactions related to the methanol chemistry included in …

The ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, represent an important and relatively
unexplored class of planet. Most of our detailed information about them comes from fleeting …

One of the main objectives of the European Space Agency's Ariel telescope (launch 2029) is
to understand the formation and evolution processes of a large sample of planets in our …
