متن کاملUranus’ aurorae past equinox
The aurorae of Uranus were recently detected in the far 2 ultraviolet with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) pro3 viding a new, so far unique, means to remotely study the 4 asymmetric Uranian magnetosphere from Earth. We ana5 lyze here two new HST Uranus campaigns executed in Sept. 6 2012 and Nov. 2014 with different temporal coverage and 7 under variable solar wind conditions numerically predic...
متن کاملLast giant impact on Uranus
Context. Modern models of the formation of ice giants attempt to account for the formation of Uranus and Neptune within the protoplanetary disk lifetime. These models assume a higher initial surface density well above that of the minimum mass solar nebula model and/or the formation of all giant planets in an inner compact configuration. Other effects include planetesimals migration due to gas d...
متن کاملWeighing Neutrinos with Galaxy Surveys
We show that galaxy redshift surveys sensitively probe the neutrino mass, with eV mass neutrinos suppressing power by a factor of two. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey can potentially detect N nearly degenerate massive neutrino species with mass mν ∼ 0.65(Ωmh /0.1N) eV at better than 2σ once microwave background experiments measure two other cosmological parameters. Significant overlap exists betwe...
متن کاملClouds of Neptune and Uranus
We present results on the bases and concentrations of methane ice, ammonia ice, ammonium hydrosulfidesolid, water ice, and aqueous-ammonia solution (“droplet”) clouds of Neptune and Uranus, based on an equilibrium cloud condensation model. Due to their similar p-T structures, the model results for Neptune and Uranus are similar. Assuming 30–50× solar enhancement for the condensibles species, as...
