The First High-Phase Observations of a KBO: New Horizons Imaging of (15810) 1994 JR1 from the Kuiper Belt
Simon B. Porter, John R. Spencer, Susan Benecchi +12
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft observed (15810) 1994 JR, a 3:2 resonant Kupier Belt Object (KBO), using the LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on November 2, 2015 from a…
The Geology of Pluto and Charon Through the Eyes of New Horizons
Jeffrey M. Moore, William B. McKinnon, John R. Spencer +38
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has revealed the complex geology of Pluto and Charon. Pluto's encounter hemisphere shows ongoing surface geological activity centered on a vast basin…
Surface Compositions Across Pluto and Charon
W. M. Grundy, R. P. Binzel, B. J. Buratti +32
The New Horizons spacecraft mapped colors and infrared spectra across the encounter hemispheres of Pluto and Charon. The volatile ices CH, CO, and N, that dominate Pluto's…
The Small Satellites of Pluto as Observed by New Horizons
H. A. Weaver, M. W. Buie, B. J. Buratti +48
The New Horizons mission has provided resolved measurements of Pluto's moons Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. All four are small, with equivalent spherical diameters of 40…
Pluto's global surface composition through pixel-by-pixel Hapke modeling of New Horizons Ralph/LEISA data
S. Protopapa, W. M. Grundy, D. C. Reuter +20
On July 14th 2015, NASA's New Horizons mission gave us an unprecedented detailed view of the Pluto system. The complex compositional diversity of Pluto's encounter hemisphere was r…
Global Albedos of Pluto and Charon from LORRI New Horizons Observations
B. J. Buratti, J. D. Hofgartner, M. D. Hicks +14
The exploration of the Pluto-Charon system by the New Horizons spacecraft represents the first opportunity to understand the distribution of albedo and other photometric properties…
