The Puzzling Detection of X-rays From Pluto by Chandra
C. M. Lisse, R. L. McNutt, S. J. Wolk +17
Using Chandra ACIS-S, we have obtained imaging Xray spectrophotometry of the Pluto system in support of the New Horizons flyby on 14 July 2015. 174 ksec of observations were obtain…
Constraints on the Microphysics of Pluto's Photochemical Haze from New Horizons Observations
Peter Gao, Siteng Fan, Michael L. Wong +12
The New Horizons flyby of Pluto confirmed the existence of hazes in its atmosphere. Observations of a large high- to low- phase brightness ratio, combined with the blue color of th…
New Horizons Constraints on Charon's Present Day Atmosphere
S. A. Stern, J. A. Kammer, G. R. Gladstone +12
We report on a variety of standard techniques used by New Horizons including a solar ultraviolet occultation, ultraviolet airglow observations, and high-phase look-back particulate…

Paul D. Feldman, Michael F. A'Hearn, Lori M. Feaga +7
Alice is a far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph onboard Rosetta that, amongst multiple objectives, is designed to observe emissions from various atomic and molecular species from w…
Modeling glacial flow on and onto Pluto's Sputnik Planitia
O. M. Umurhan, A. D. Howard, J. M. Moore +12
Observations of Pluto's surface made by the New Horizons spacecraft indicates present-day nitrogen ice glaciation in and around the basin known as Sputnik Planum. Motivated by thes…
Plutos interaction with its space environment: Solar Wind, Energetic Particles & Dust
F. Bagenal, M. Horányi, D. J. McComas +23
The New Horizons spacecraft carried three instruments that measured the space environment near Pluto as it flew by on 14 July 2015. The Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument revealed…
