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…

Hypotheses for Triton's Plumes: New Analyses and Future Remote Sensing Tests

Jason D. Hofgartner, Samuel P. D. Birch, Julie Castillo +14

At least two active plumes were observed on Neptune's moon Triton during the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989. Models for Triton's plumes have previously been grouped into five hypotheses,…

Volatile transport modeling on Triton with new observational constraints

T. Bertrand, E. Lellouch, B. J. Holler +18

Neptune's moon Triton shares many similarities with Pluto, including volatile cycles of N2, CH4 and CO, and represents a benchmark case for the study of surface-atmosphere interact…

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…

Impact Craters on Pluto and Charon and Terrain Age Estimates

Kelsi N. Singer, Sarah Greenstreet, Paul M. Schenk +2

Pluto's terrains display a diversity of crater retention ages ranging from areas with no identifiable craters to heavily cratered terrains. This variation in crater densities is co…
