Near-infrared thermal emission from near-Earth asteroids: Aspect-dependent variability
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, David Polishook, Francesca E. DeMeo +6
Here we explore a technique for constraining physical properties of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) based on variability in thermal emission as a function of viewing aspect. We present…
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…
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Objects Survey (MANOS): first photometric results
A. Thirouin, N. Moskovitz, R. P. Binzel +11
The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Objects Survey (MANOS) aims to physically characterize sub-km Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). We report first photometric results from the survey which…
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…
The Geology of Pluto and Charon Through the Eyes of New Horizons
Jeffrey M. Moore, William B. McKinnon, John R. Spencer +38
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has revealed the complex geology of Pluto and Charon. Pluto's encounter hemisphere shows ongoing surface geological activity centered on a vast basin…
Surface Compositions Across Pluto and Charon
W. M. Grundy, R. P. Binzel, B. J. Buratti +32
The New Horizons spacecraft mapped colors and infrared spectra across the encounter hemispheres of Pluto and Charon. The volatile ices CH, CO, and N, that dominate Pluto's…
The Small Satellites of Pluto as Observed by New Horizons
H. A. Weaver, M. W. Buie, B. J. Buratti +48
The New Horizons mission has provided resolved measurements of Pluto's moons Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. All four are small, with equivalent spherical diameters of 40…
Compositional characterisation of the Themis family
M. Marsset, P. Vernazza, M. Birlan +5
Context. It has recently been proposed that the surface composition of icy main-belt asteroids (B-,C-,Cb-,Cg-,P-,and D-types) may be consistent with that of chondritic porous inter…
