Scientific paper

The evolution and structure of icy bodies of the solar system are summarized. The effect of tidal evolution, eccentricities, and decay time on Titania, Oberon, Miranda, Umbriel and Ariel is discussed. Observational measurements of the masses and radii of these satellites have recently become sufficiently reliable to use in investigation. Also considered is the problem of the sub-surface temperature distribution and heat transfer of icy comet nuclei.
