Lunar Volatiles and Solar System Science
Parvathy Prem, Ákos Kereszturi, Ariel N. Deutsch +38
Understanding the origin and evolution of the lunar volatile system is not only compelling lunar science, but also fundamental Solar System science. This white paper (submitted to…
FUV Observations of the Inner Coma of 46P/Wirtanen
John W. Noonan, Walter M. Harris, Steven Bromley +6
Far ultraviolet observations of comets yield information about the energetic processes that dissociate the sublimated gases from their primitive surfaces. Understanding which emiss…
The Fundamental Connections Between the Solar System and Exoplanetary Science
Stephen R. Kane, Giada N. Arney, Paul K. Byrne +7
Over the past several decades, thousands of planets have been discovered outside of our Solar System. These planets exhibit enormous diversity, and their large numbers provide a st…
Escape and evolution of Titan's N atmosphere constrained by N/N isotope ratios
N. V. Erkaev, M. Scherf, S. E. Thaller +4
We apply a 1D upper atmosphere model to study thermal escape of nitrogen over Titan's history. Significant thermal escape should have occurred very early for solar EUV fluxes 100 t…
Modeling Pluto's Minimum Pressure: Implications for Haze Production
Perianne E. Johnson, Leslie A. Young, Silvia Protopapa +6
Pluto has a heterogeneous surface, despite a global haze deposition rate of ~1 micrometer per orbit (Cheng et al., 2017; Grundy et al., 2018). While there could be spatial variatio…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
