Large-scale cryovolcanic resurfacing on Pluto
Kelsi N. Singer, Oliver L. White, Bernard Schmitt +22
The New Horizons spacecraft returned images and compositional data showing that terrains on Pluto span a variety of ages, ranging from relatively ancient, heavily cratered areas to…
The Dark Side of Pluto
Tod R. Lauer, John R. Spencer, Tanguy Bertrand +12
During its departure from Pluto, New Horizons used its LORRI camera to image a portion of Pluto's southern hemisphere that was in a decades-long seasonal winter darkness, but still…
Pits, Uplifts and Small Chaos Features on Europa: Morphologic and Morphometric Evidence for Intrusive Upwelling and Lower Limits to Ice Shell Thickness
Kelsi N. Singer, William B. McKinnon, Paul M. Schenk
One of the clearest but unresolved questions for Europa is the thickness of its icy shell. Europa's surface is resplendent with geological features that bear on this question, and…
Morphological Comparison of Blocks in Chaos Terrains on Pluto, Europa, and Mars
Helle L. Skjetne, Kelsi N. Singer, Brian M. Hynek +12
Chaos terrains are characterized by disruption of preexisting surfaces into irregularly arranged mountain blocks with a chaotic appearance. Several models for chaos formation have…
Persephone: A Pluto-System Orbiter and Kuiper Belt Explorer
Carly Howett, Stuart Robbins, Bryan J. Holler +40
Persephone is a NASA concept mission study that addresses key questions raised by New Horizons' encounters with Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), with arguably the most important being "…
Formation, Composition, and History of the Pluto System: A Post-New-Horizons Synthesis
William B. McKinnon, Christopher R. Glein, Tanguy Bertrand +1
The Pluto-Charon system provides a broad variety of constraints on planetary formation, composition, chemistry, and evolution. Pluto was the first body to be discovered in what is…
