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

Previous work by K.A. Tryka et al. (Science 261, 751-754, 1993) has shown that the profile of the 2.148-micrometers band of solid nitrogen can be used as a "thermometer" and determined the temperature of nitrogen ice on Triton to be 38(+2)-1 K. Here we reevaluate that data and refine the temperature
