The role of ice lines in the formation of Uranus and Neptune. by Mousis, O, Aguichine, A, Helled, R, Irwin, PGJ, Lunine, JI

“…By contrast, the presence of protosolar C/N and C/S ratios in Uranus and Neptune would imply that their building blocks agglomerated from particles condensed at larger heliocentric distances. …”

Detection of hydrogen sulfide above the clouds in Uranus’s atmosphere by Irwin, P, Toledo Carrasco, D, Garland, R, Teanby, N, Fletcher, L, Orton, G, Bezard, B

“…Visible-to-near-infrared observations indicate that the cloud top of the main cloud deck on Uranus lies at a pressure level of between 1.2 bar and 3 bar. …”

“…Long-slit spectroscopy observations of Uranus by the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope UIST instrument in 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been used to monitor the change in Uranus' vertical and latitudinal cloud structure through the planet's northern spring equinox in December 2007. …”

“…Finally, we find that although the visible colour of Uranus is less blue than Neptune, due to the increased aerosol thickness on Uranus, and this difference is greatest at Uranus&rsquo;s solstices, it is much less significant than is commonly believed due to a long-standing misperception of Neptune&rsquo;s &lsquo;true&rsquo; colour. …”

AN EXTERNAL ORIGIN FOR CARBON MONOXIDE ON URANUS FROM HERSCHEL/SPIRE? by Teanby, N, Irwin, P

“…However, it has not been possible to demonstrate this on Uranus because of its low CO abundance, low upper-tropospheric temperatures, and low stratospheric thermal gradient, which make detection very challenging. …”
