The Uranus and Neptune Systems, and their Relation to Other Planets
Session ID#: 81002
Session Description:
Uranus and Neptune systems are high-priority targets for near-future exploration by orbiter and/or flyby missions that may accompany in-situ probes and landers. We aim to hold a highly interdisciplinary session that advances the state of the art in our understanding of all aspects of ice-giant systems: the magnetospheres, satellites, rings, atmospheres, and interiors of Uranus and Neptune; their formation and evolution; and their relation to other planets in and beyond our solar system. Our session especially welcomes presentations that advance our understanding of the Ice Giant systems in preparation for future remote sensing and in situ explorations. We solicit presentations on observations, modeling, theory and laboratory work, as well as concepts for missions and instruments relevant for future exploration of the Ice Giant Systems.
