摘要：

Models of Uranus and Neptune are computed based on the assumption that these planets consist of three layers: a rock core, an ice shell, and an atmosphere. Uranus models require that the ice shell have a density some 10% lower than the canonical density for an ice mixture. Two Neptune models:are found, one with the canonical density in the ice shell, and one with a density 20% lower. The implications of these models are discussed.
