Uranus Neptune
Mp∕1026 kg(1) 0.86832(1 ± 0.013%) 1.02435(1 ± 0.013%)
Rp∕107 m 2.5364(1 ± 0.04%) 2.4625(1 ± 0.08%)
Teff∕K 59.1 ± 0.3 59.3 ± 0.8
Teq∕K 58.1 ± 1 46.4 ± 1

mcoreME 0.15 1

Notes. Top half: observational parameters taken from Guillot & Gautier (2015) – planet mass Mp, mean radius Rp, present-day effective temperature Teff – as well as present-day equilibrium temperature Teq. Bottom half: model parameters used in this work – outer envelope metallicity Z1, mass value m12 that marks the outside edge of the TBL, and core mass mcore expressed in units of Earth masses ME using a value of ME = 5.9722 × 1024 kg. The inner envelope metallicity is Z2 = 1 unless otherwise noted. (1)The given uncertainty in MP is the relative uncertainty of the gravitational constant G given by Cohen & Taylor (1987), which was used to calculate the MP values presented here.
