论文摘要

天王星和海王星在我们的太阳系中形成了不同的行星。鉴于这个事实以及其他行星系统中类似质量行星的普遍性,必须了解它们的室内结构和组成。但是,关于这些行星的问题比答案要多。在这篇综述中,我们集中于我们对天王星和海王星内部不了解的事情,重点是为什么行星可能不同而不是相同。接下来,我们总结了有关行星内部结构和进化的知识。最后,我们确定了应该在理论方面进一步研究的主题,以及太空任务的必要观察结果。

Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our solar system. Given this fact, and ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their interior structure and composition. However, there are more open questions regarding these planets than answers. In this review we concentrate on the things we do not know about the interiors of Uranus and Neptune with a focus on why the planets may be different, rather than the same. We next summarize the knowledge about the planets' internal structure and evolution. Finally, we identify the topics that should be investigated further on the theoretical front as well as required observations from space missions.
