Searching for Subsurface Oceans on the Moons of Uranus Using Magnetic Induction

The icy moons of Uranus may contain subsurface oceans. Such oceans could be detected and characterized using measurements of magnetic fields induced by Uranus' time-varying magnetospheric field. Here we explore this possibility for Uranus's five major moons, with a focus on Ariel. We find...
