A von Mises-Fisher Distribution for the Orbital Poles of the Plutinos
Ian C. Matheson, Renu Malhotra, James T. Keane
Small solar system bodies have widely dispersed orbital poles, posing challenges to dynamical models of solar system origin and evolution. To characterize the orbit pole distributi…
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…
A Predicted Dearth of Majority Hypervolatile Ices in Oort Cloud Comets
C. M. Lisse, G. R. Gladstone, L. A. Young +30
We present new, ice species-specific New Horizons/Alice upper gas coma production limits from the 01 Jan 2019 MU69/Arrokoth flyby of Gladstone et al. (2021) and use them to make pr…
A Near Surface Temperature Model of Arrokoth
O. M. Umurhan, W. M. Grundy, M. K. Bird +19
A near surface thermal model for Arrokoth is developed based on the recently released facet model of the body. This thermal solution takes into account Arrokoth's surface re…
New Constraints on Pluto's Sputnik Planitia Ice Sheet from a Coupled Reorientation-Climate Model
Perianne E. Johnson, James T. Keane, Leslie A. Young +1
We present a coupled reorientation and climate model, to understand how true polar wander (TPW) and atmospheric condensation worked together to create the Sputnik Planitia (SP) ice…
A Statistical Review of Light Curves and the Prevalence of Contact Binaries in the Kuiper Belt
Mark R. Showalter, Susan D. Benecchi, Marc W. Buie +19
We investigate what can be learned about a population of distant KBOs by studying the statistical properties of their light curves. Whereas others have successfully inferred the pr…
