On The Origin of Pluto , Charon , and the Pluto
Being small, binary, and in a highly unusual orbit, Pluto was long viewed as an enigma in the outer Solar System. Here we review the historical development of ideas concerning Pluto's origin and the origin of the Pluto-Charon Binary. We critically examine these theories in light of both recent advances about Pluto, and with regard to Pluto's broader context in the outer Solar System. Although P...
متن کاملSpeckle Camera Imaging of the Planet Pluto
We have obtained optical wavelength (692 nm and 880 nm) speckle imaging of the planet Pluto and its largest moon Charon. Using our DSSI speckle camera attached to the Gemini North 8 m telescope, we collected high resolution imaging with an angular resolution of ∼20 mas, a value at the Gemini-N telescope diffraction limit. We have produced for this binary system the first speckle reconstructed i...
متن کاملNew Horizons Pluto–Kuiper Belt mission: design and simulation of the Pluto–Charon encounter
The primary goal of the New Horizons Pluto–Kuiper Belt mission is to explore Pluto by 2020, before Pluto’s atmosphere collapses as predicted by scientists, and then explore the Kuiper Belt objects in an extended mission. The baseline mission plans to launch in January 2006, using a Jupiter gravity assist trajectory to reach Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft will arrive at Pluto as early as 201...
متن کاملPLUTO: Automated Solutions for Patent Translation
PLUTO is a commercial development project supported by the European Commission as part of the FP7 programme which aims to eliminate the language barriers that exist worldwide in the provision of multilingual access to patent information. The project consortium comprises four partners: the Centre for Next Generation Localisation at Dublin City University, ESTeam AB, CrossLang, 3 and the Dutch Pa...
متن کاملA giant impact origin of Pluto-Charon.
Pluto and its moon, Charon, are the most prominent members of the Kuiper belt, and their existence holds clues to outer solar system formation processes. Here, hydrodynamic simulations are used to demonstrate that the formation of Pluto-Charon by means of a large collision is quite plausible. I show that such an impact probably produced an intact Charon, although it is possible that a disk of m...
