Prospects to study the Ice Giants with the ngVLA
With the next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA), operating at 0.25–26 cm, we can characterize the composition and atmospheric dynamics of the Ice Giants from the stratosphere down to tens of bars, providing invaluable information for planet formation models. The maps further provide invaluable support to space missions.
