During its departure from Pluto, New Horizons used its LORRI camera to image a portion of Pluto's southern hemisphere that was in a decades-long seasonal winter darkness, but still…
Pluto's atmosphere observations with ALMA: spatially-resolved maps of CO and HCN emission and first detection of HNC
E. Lellouch, B. Butler, R. Moreno +6
Following the detection of CO and HCN in Pluto's atmosphere, we report on new ALMA observations of Pluto with two main goals: (i) obtaining spatially-resolved measurements (~0.06''…
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…
Global Climate Model Occultation Lightcurves Tested by August 2018 Ground-Based Stellar Occultation
Sihe Chen, Eliot F. Young, Leslie A. Young +3
Pluto's atmospheric profiles (temperature and pressure) have been studied for decades from stellar occultation lightcurves. In this paper, we look at recent Pluto Global Climate Mo…
Formation, Composition, and History of the Pluto System: A Post-New-Horizons Synthesis
William B. McKinnon, Christopher R. Glein, Tanguy Bertrand +1
The Pluto-Charon system provides a broad variety of constraints on planetary formation, composition, chemistry, and evolution. Pluto was the first body to be discovered in what is…
Pluto's Haze as a Surface Material
W. M. Grundy, T. Bertrand, R. P. Binzel +37
Pluto's atmospheric haze settles out rapidly compared with geological timescales. It needs to be accounted for as a surface material, distinct from Pluto's icy bedrock and from the…
