Atmospheric escape processes and planetary atmospheric evolution
The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its
interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive …

On the origin & thermal stability of Arrokoth's and Pluto's ices
In this paper we discuss in a thermodynamic, geologically empirical way the long-term
nature of the stable majority ices that could be present in Kuiper Belt object (KBO) 2014 MU …

Pluto's haze as a surface material
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 …

Haze heats Pluto's atmosphere yet explains its cold temperature
Pluto's atmosphere is cold and hazy,,. Recent observations have shown it to be much colder
than predicted theoretically, suggesting an unknown cooling mechanism. Atmospheric gas …

Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
Context. A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October
2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 …
