Strong Tidal Dissipation at Uranus?
Geophysical estimates of paleo heat fluxes on the Uranian moons Miranda and Ariel are in the range of 25–75 mW m ^−2 . For a canonical Uranus dissipation factor Q = 18,000, expected equilibrium tidal heating rates for these satellites are less than 6 mW m ^−2 . At least for Ariel, this order-of-magn...
