Triton, the largest Solar System satellite beyond Saturn, was probably captured from the Transneptunian population by Neptune. It is mainly covered by N2, CO, CO2, CH4 and H2O in solid state and, except for H2O and CO2, these species are also present in gas phase. Sublimation and recondensation of the volatile species may lead to geographical and temporal variation on the surface composition, and...
On July 14th 2015, NASA’s New Horizons mission gave us an unprecedented detailed view of the Pluto system. The complex compositional diversity of Pluto’s encounter hemisphere was revealed by the Ralph/LEISA infrared spectrometer on board of New Horizons. We present compositional maps of Pluto defining the spatial distribution of the abundance and textural properties of the volatiles methane and nitrogen...
