Cratering Rates in the Outer Solar System
TL;DR: In this article, the number of ecliptic comets is used to determine impact cratering rates from Jupiter to Pluto, where the size-number distribution of comets smaller than 20 km is inferred from impact craters on Europa, Ganymede, and Triton.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons.

TL;DR: The New Horizons encounter revealed that Pluto displays a surprisingly wide variety of geological landforms, including those resulting from glaciological and surface-atmosphere interactions as well as impact, tectonic, possible cryovolcanic, and mass-wasting processes.

TL;DR: The New Horizons team presents the complex surface features and geology of Pluto and its large moon Charon, including evidence of tectonics, glacial flow, and possible cryovolcanoes, as well as their analysis of the encounter data downloaded so far.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active formation of ‘chaos terrain’ over shallow subsurface water on Europa
TL;DR: An analysis of archival data from Europa is guided by processes observed within Earth's subglacial volcanoes and ice shelves and suggests that ice–water interactions and freeze-out give rise to the diverse morphologies and topography of chaos terrains.
