Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres
MIkayla R. Huffman, David A. Brain, Kelsi N. Singer +2
One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Car…
The Shape of (486958) Arrokoth
Simon B. Porter, Kelsi N. Singer, Paul M. Schenk +6
Here we present an updated shape model of (486958) Arrokoth, the bilobate Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) which the NASA New Horizons spacecraft flew past in 2019. This updated shape mode…
Characterization of the Deep, Extended Kuiper Belt in the Galactic Disk
Susan D. Benecchi, Simon B. Porter, Anne J. Verbiscer +11
We propose a Roman Space Telescope survey to investigate fundamental properties of the distant solar system in the region of the Kuiper Belt where object characteristics and the si…
An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons
JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22
A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…
Excess Ultraviolet Emission at High Galactic Latitudes: A New Horizons View
Jayant Murthy, J. Michael Shull, Marc Postman +11
We present new observations of the cosmic ultraviolet background (CUVB) at high Galactic latitudes (), made using the Alice UV spectrograph on board the New Horiz…
Observations of Uranus at High Phase Angle as Seen by New Horizons
Samantha N. Hasler, L. C. Mayorga, William M. Grundy +14
We present flux measurements of Uranus observed at phase angles of 43.9°, 44.0°, and 52.4° by the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on the New Horizons spacecraft during…
Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons Subaru TNO Survey
Wesley C. Fraser, Simon B. Porter, Lowell Peltier +41
We report the detection of 239 trans-Neptunian Objects discovered through the on-going New Horizons survey for distant minor bodies being performed with the Hyper Suprime-Cam mosai…
New Synoptic Observations of the Cosmic Optical Background with New Horizons
Marc Postman, Tod R. Lauer, Joel W. Parker +11
We obtained New Horizons LORRI images to measure the cosmic optical background (COB) intensity integrated over The survey comprises 16 high Galac…
New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter Observes Higher than Expected Fluxes Approaching 60 AU
Alex Doner, Mihaly Horanyi, Fran Bagenal +8
The NASA New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter (SDC) measures dust particle impacts along the spacecraft's flight path for grains with mass g, mapping o…
On the Provenance of Pluto's Nitrogen (N2)
Kelsi N. Singer, S. Alan Stern
N2 is abundant in Pluto's atmosphere and on its surface, but the supply is depleted by prodigious atmospheric escape. We demonstrate that cometary impacts could not have delivered…
