Scientific paper

The author argues that if the magnetic field of Neptune does not possess a tilt and offset similar to that of the Uranus magnetic field, then the Neptune magnetosphere will lack what may be a major source of precipitation as compared to Uranus. Limited to auroral energy inputs alone, the Neptune exosphere may be much colder. Specifically, the author expects the exospheric temperature at Neptune to be about 200°K as compared to nearly 800°K at Uranus.
