Description and Table of Contents
Description
Contains a total of 30 papers from Symposium 4, Outer Planets: Current Knowledge, Future Prospects and selected papers from Topical Meeting TMC.2 which deal with the aeronomy of the outer planets' atmospheres. The purpose of the Symposium was to provide a forum for discussing the current state of knowledge of the outer solar system and to set the stage for the next space exploration steps in this region, the upcoming Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune and, in the more distant future, the explorations of Jupiter by Galileo and Saturn by Cassini.
