An unidentified absorption feature at 5.11 m on the surface of Titan and Pluto from JWST spectroscopy

B. Bézard, E. Lellouch, M. Camarca +14

Titan possesses a thick N-CH atmosphere that makes it difficult to study its surface spectroscopically. The chemical composition of the solid surface of Titan thus remains…

Unveiling the ice and gas nature of active centaur (2060) Chiron using the James Webb Space Telescope

N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, R. Brunetto +15

(2060) Chiron is a large centaur that has been reported active on multiple occasions including during aphelion passage. Studies of Chirons coma during active periods have resulted…

Measurement of D/H and 13C/12C Ratios in Methane Ice on Eris and Makemake: Evidence for Internal Activity

W. M. Grundy, I. Wong, C. R. Glein +11

James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec infrared imaging spectrometer observed the outer solar system dwarf planets Eris and Makemake in reflected sunlight at wavelengths spanning 1 t…

A Tale of 3 Dwarf Planets: Ices and Organics on Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar from JWST Spectroscopy

J. P. Emery, I. Wong, R. Brunetto +10

We observed Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). All three bodies were observed in the low-resolution prism mode at wav…

Moderate D/H Ratios in Methane Ice on Eris and Makemake as Evidence of Hydrothermal or Metamorphic Processes in Their Interiors: Geochemical Analysis

Christopher R. Glein, William M. Grundy, Jonathan I. Lunine +7

Dwarf planets Eris and Makemake have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. D/H ratios were recently determined from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of Eris…
