Constraints on Europa's water group torus from HST/COS observations

Lorenz Roth, H. Todd Smith, Kazuo Yoshioka +8

In-situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orb…

On Charon's Far-Ultraviolet Surface Reflectance

Brian A. Keeney, Joel Wm. Parker, Nathaniel Cunningham +3

We present the first measurements of Charon's far-ultraviolet surface reflectance, obtained by the Alice spectrograph on New Horizons. We find no measurable flux shortward of 1650…

The Atmosphere of Pluto as Observed by New Horizons

G. Randall Gladstone, S. Alan Stern, Kimberly Ennico +31

Observations made during the New Horizons flyby provide a detailed snapshot of the current state of Pluto's atmosphere. While the lower atmosphere (at altitudes <200 km) is consist…

Explosive Outflows Powered by the Decay of Non-Hierarchical Multiple Systems of Massive Stars: Orion BN/KL

John Bally, Nathaniel J. Cunningham, Nickolas Moeckel +4

The explosive BN/KL outflow emerging from OMC1 behind the Orion Nebula may have been powered by the dynamical decay of a non-hierarchical multiple system 500 years ago that e…

A Pulsed, Precessing Jet in Cepheus A

Nathaniel J. Cunningham, Nickolas Moeckel, John Bally

We present near-infrared H2, radio CO, and thermal infrared observations of the nearby massive star-forming region Cepheus A (Cep A). From H2 bow shocks arranged along four distinc…
