Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical capture in the Pluto–Charon system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the possibility that the progenitors of the small satellites of Pluto got captured in the Pluto-Charon system from the massive heliocentric planetesimal disk in which Pluto was originally embedded into.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational effects of Nix and Hydra in the external region of the Pluto–Charon system
TL;DR: Weaver et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the dynamical structure of the external region of the Pluto-Charon binary system by numerically simulating a sample of particles under the gravitational effects of Pluto, Charon, Nix and Hydra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small particles in Pluto's environment: effects of the solar radiation pressure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the orbital evolution of the escaping ejecta from both the small satellites under the effects of the radiation pressure combined with the gravitational effects of Pluto, Charon, Nix and Hydra.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Oren-Nayar reflexive model to map the inhomogeneous light scattering on the surface of the satellites of the Earth and fitted the occultation and eclipse light curves using semi-analytical models that take into account the gradual decrease of light over the shadow, the solar limb darkening and the solar phase angle.
