Remote Sensing D/H Ratios in Methane Ice: Temperature-Dependent Absorption Coefficients of CH3D in Methane Ice and in Nitrogen Ice
W. M. Grundy, S. J. Morrison, M. J. Bovyn +2
The existence of strong absorption bands of singly deuterated methane (CH3D) at wavelengths where normal methane (CH4) absorbs comparatively weakly could enable remote measurement…

Methane and Nitrogen Abundances On Pluto and Eris
S. C. Tegler, D. M. Cornelison, W. M. Grundy +8
We present spectra of Eris from the MMT 6.5 meter telescope and Red Channel Spectrograph (5700-9800 angstroms; 5 angstroms per pix) on Mt. Hopkins, AZ, and of Pluto from the Stewar…
