There, in a world of endless possibilities, Bron began a searing odyssey to find the elusive object of his desires ...
Nitrogen ice, probably the dominant high albedo surface material on Pluto and Triton, has optical constants that are more strongly absorbing in the thermal infrared than at visible wavelengths. This optical behavior results in absorption of sunlight, on average, at greater depths than the depths fro
and special conditions in the surface microstructure may affect the spectroscopic signature of water ice in such a way that crystalline ice is present and its 1.65 Β΅m spectral band is masked. Our spectra (1.87-2.5 Β΅m) taken at an interval of nearly 3.5 years do not show any significant changes that
