Abstract

Empirical" models (pressure versus density) of Uranus and Neptune interiors constrained by the gravitational coefficients J 2 , J 4 , the planetary radii and masses, and Voyager solid-body rotation periods are presented.The empirical pressure-density profiles are then interpreted in terms of physical equations of state of hydrogen, helium, ice (H 2 O), and rock (SiO 2 ) to test the physical plausibility of the models.The compositions of Uranus and Neptune are found to be similar with somewhat different distributions of the high-Z material.The big difference between the two planets is that Neptune requires a non-solar envelope, while Uranus is best matched with a solar composition envelope.Our analysis suggests that the heavier elements in both Uranus' and Neptune's interior might increase gradually toward the planetary centers.Indeed it is possible to fit the gravitational moments without sharp compositional transitions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
