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…
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 '…
