N-body simulations show gas drag prevents efficient outward scattering of CM-like planetesimals beyond 15 au during Saturn's growth, yielding at most 0.02-0.04 Earth masses of CM material in the outer ring and negligible CI contamination.

Bayesian interior models find rock fractions of ~60% in the heavy-element envelopes of both Uranus and Neptune, with Neptune showing rock-rich mantles (~55%) and Uranus ice-rich mantles (~41%).
RV follow-up of 14 Gaia astrometric candidates identifies 6 binaries and confirms 8 substellar companions, updating binary contamination to 43%.
