The New Horizons (NH) flyby of the Pluto–Charon binary planet and its system of four small
surrounding satellites in mid-2015 revolutionized our knowledge of this distant planet and its …

New Horizons data provide a snapshot of the current state of Pluto's atmosphere. Winds are
slow and mostly controlled by sublimation of surface ices. Molecular nitrogen is the primary …

The Alice instrument on NASA's New Horizons spacecraft observed an ultraviolet solar
occultation by Pluto's atmosphere on 2015 July 14. The transmission vs. altitude was …

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 volatile …

Pluto's atmosphere is cold and hazy,,. Recent observations have shown it to be much colder
than predicted theoretically, suggesting an unknown cooling mechanism. Atmospheric gas …

Previous examinations of astrophysical chemical reaction networks found that Earth's
atmospheric network was distinct in its hierarchical organization and scale‐free nature. If …

Photochemical hazes have frequently been used to interpret exoplanet transmission spectra
that show an upward slope toward shorter wavelengths and weak molecular features. While …

Abstract Pluto, Titan and Triton all have low-temperature environments with an N2, CH4 and
CO atmospheric composition in which solar radiation drives an intense organic …

Context. The tenuous nitrogen (N 2) atmosphere on Pluto undergoes strong seasonal effects
due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has recently (July 2015) been observed by …

The model for Titan by Krasnopolsky (2014, Icarus 236, 83-91) has been adjusted to Pluto's
conditions during the New Horizons flyby. The model includes 419 reactions of 83 neutrals …
