Investigating the extent of bladed terrain on Pluto via photometric surface roughness
I. Mishra, R. Dhingra, B. J. Buratti +2
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft discovered fields of sub-parallel sets of steep ridges situated in the high-altitude, low-latitude regions in Pluto's encounter hemisphere called 'bl…
Large-scale cryovolcanic resurfacing on Pluto
Kelsi N. Singer, Oliver L. White, Bernard Schmitt +22
The New Horizons spacecraft returned images and compositional data showing that terrains on Pluto span a variety of ages, ranging from relatively ancient, heavily cratered areas to…
The science case for spacecraft exploration of the Uranian satellites: Candidate ocean worlds in an ice giant system
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom A. Nordheim +15
The 27 satellites of Uranus are enigmatic, with dark surfaces coated by material that could be rich in organics. Voyager 2 imaged the southern hemispheres of Uranus' five largest '…
Tidal Currents Detected in Kraken Mare Straits from Cassini VIMS Sun Glitter Observations
Michael F. Heslar, Jason W. Barnes, Jason M. Soderblom +3
We present Cassini VIMS observations of sun glitter -- wave-induced reflections from a liquid surface offset from a specular point -- on Kraken Mare. Sun glitter reveals rough sea…
Initial results from the New Horizons exploration of 2014 MU69, a small Kuiper Belt Object
S. A. Stern, H. A. Weaver, J. R. Spencer +202
The Kuiper Belt is a distant region of the Solar System. On 1 January 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew close to (486958) 2014 MU69, a Cold Classical Kuiper Belt Object, a cla…
The Geology and Geophysics of Kuiper Belt Object (486958) Arrokoth
J. R. Spencer, S. A. Stern, J. M. Moore +75
The Cold Classical Kuiper Belt, a class of small bodies in undisturbed orbits beyond Neptune, are primitive objects preserving information about Solar System formation. The New Hor…
