TLDR
These systems are studied for the information they reveal about the properties, history and ongoing evolution of the planetary systems of which they are a part; as dynamical analogues for other astrophysical systems such as protoplanetary disks; and for the wealth of fascinating properties and origin scenarios that make them worthy of study in their own right.
Web of resonances and possible path of evolution of the small Uranian satellites
Satellite systems around giant planets are immersed in a region of complex resonant configurations. Understanding the role of satellite resonances contributes to comprehending the dynamical processes…
Analysing the region of the rings and small satellites of Neptune
The ring system and small satellites of Neptune were discovered during Voyager 2 flyby in 1989 (Smith et al. in Science 246:1422, 1989 ). In this work we analyse the diffusion maps which can give an…
New precise positions in 2013–2019 and a catalog of ground-based astrometric observations of 11 Neptunian satellites (1847–2019) based on Gaia-DR2
Context. Developing high-precision ephemerides for Neptunian satellites requires not only the continuation of observing campaigns but also the collection and improvement of existing observations. So…
The interiors of Uranus and Neptune: current understanding and open questions
TLDR
This review focuses on the things the authors do not know about the interiors of Uranus and Neptune with a focus on why the planets may be different, rather than the same.

Orbital resonances in the inner neptunian system
We investigate the orbital history of the small neptunian satellites discovered by Voyager 2. Over the age of the Solar System, tidal forces have caused the satellites to migrate radially, bringing…

We report on the improved ephemerides for the irregular Jovian satellites. We used a combination of numerically integrated equations of motion and a weighted least-squares algorithm to fit the…

Systematic astrometric observations of Proteus
Earth based observations of Proteus are made highly difficult by the magnitude difference with Neptune, and the closeness to the planet. To overcome these difficulties, observation campaigns using a…
