Scientific paper

Recent research results concerning the atmospheres of the outer planets and satellites are presented, covering Pluto, Triton, Neptune, Uranus, Titan, Saturn, and Io. In addition to presenting analyses of physical properties and atmospheric chemical composition, attention is given to (1) the origin of Pluto; (2) the possible variability of Triton; (3) the rotation periods of Uranus and Neptune, as well as their effective temperatures and internal heating, haze distribution, thermal structure, and weather and seasonal changes; (4) the seasonal and long-term changes of Titan, in addition to its thermal structure; (5) the dust and haze distribution of Saturn; and (6) Io's gaseous plasma and neutral torio. The data include Voyager 1 and 2 results for Io, along with Pioneer 11 results for Saturn and Titan.
