Comparative global albedo and color maps of the Uranian satellites

Formation of the regular satellites of giant planets in an extended gaseous nebula I: subnebula model and accretion of satellites

“…Nonetheless, this may not mean that captured objects or debris originating from them did not leave their mark on Callisto and Iapetus (and the outer satellites of Uranus). It is possible that the leading and trailing asymmetries present in the outer uranian satellites (Buratti and Mosher, 1991), perhaps Callisto (Bell, 1984), and Iapetus (Buratti et al, 2002, and references therein) may be the result of interactions with material originating from retrograde satellites exterior to their orbits (Cruikshank et al, 1983). Buratti et al (2002) argue in favor of this alternative to explain the extreme leading and trailing composition asymmetry of Iapetus.…”

The Near Infrared Spectrum of Miranda Evidence of Crystalline Water Ice

“…In the Voyager images, the heavily cratered regions external to the slightly reddish coronae were found to be relatively blue (Buratti et al 1990, Buratti andMosher 1991). Subsequent ground-based observations (Buratti et al 1992) revealed a strong opposition surge in brightness at optical wavelengths indicative of a "fluffy" porous surface.…”

Predictions of the mutual events of the Uranian satellites occurring in 2006–2009

“…Note the strong difference between Ariel and Umbriel leading to a large influence on the flux drop. These values are deduced from the papers by Helfenstein et al (1988), Buratti et al (1990, 1991), and Karkoshka (1997). …”
