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 observed mass–radius relationship of low-mass planets informs our understanding of
their composition and evolution. Recent discoveries of low-mass, large-radius objects (" …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

We present the case for the presence of complex organic molecules, such as amino acids
and nucleobases, formed by abiotic processes on the surface and in near-subsurface …

Photochemical aerosols were detected as high as 350 km of altitude in Pluto's atmosphere
during the New Horizons fly-by. These aerosols are thought to affect Pluto's climate, by …

Photochemical aerosols were observed in Pluto atmosphere during the New Horizons flyby
on July 14 th, 2015, as several thin haze layers extending at> 350 km of altitude. This flyby …
