The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons.

S. A. Stern, +150 more
- 16 Oct 2015 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The temperature‐dependent near‐infrared absorption spectrum of hexagonal H2O ice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the new absorption coefficient spectra along with an examination of the different temperature effects of hexagonal water ice at temperatures between 20 and 270 K, with thicknesses ranging from 100 μm to 1.0 cm.
Journal ArticleDOI

The geology of Pluto and Charon through the eyes of New Horizons.

TL;DR: Nasa’s New Horizons spacecraft has revealed a complex geology of Pluto and Charon, including evidence of tectonics, glacial flow, and possible cryovolcanoes, and these findings massively increase the understanding of the bodies in the outer solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for two populations of classical transneptunian objects : The strong inclination dependence of classical binaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors search 101 Classical transneptunian objects for companions with the Hubble Space Telescope and find a very strong anticorrelation of binaries with inclination, and only 1 of these is a similar-brightness binary.
