New Horizons observations of the atmosphere of Pluto
GR Gladstone, LA Young - Annual Review of Earth and …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Jupiter formed as a pebble pile around the N2 ice line
Context. The region around the H 2 O ice line, due to its higher surface density, seems to be
the ideal location to form planets. The core of Jupiter, as well as the cores of close-in gas …

Cold traps of hypervolatiles in the protosolar nebula at the origin of the peculiar composition of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
Recent observations of the long-period comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS; hereafter R2)
indicate an unusually high N 2/CO abundance ratio, typically larger than∼ 0.05, and at least …

N2 accretion, metamorphism of organic nitrogen, or both processes likely contributed to the origin of Pluto's N2
CR Glein - Icarus, 2023 - Elsevier
Molecular nitrogen (N 2) plays a profound role in supporting processes on the surface and in
the atmosphere of Pluto, yet the origin of Pluto's N 2 remains a mystery. However, this may …

Life as the Only Reason for the Existence of N2–O2-Dominated Atmospheres
The Earth's N2-dominated atmosphere is a very special feature. Firstly, N2 as main gas is
unique on terrestrial planets in the inner Solar System and gives a hint for tectonic activity …

Using Io's sulfur isotope cycle to understand the history of tidal heating
Stable isotope fractionation of sulfur offers a window into Io's tidal heating history, which is
difficult to constrain because Io's dynamic atmosphere and high resurfacing rates leave it …
