Alan Stern, Candace J. Hansen, William B. McKinnon, Carol Paty, Louise Prockter and Leslie A. Young.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Pluto and Triton are icy twins of the outer Solar System, 'born' in the same region but 'raised' under very different circumstances. This book provides a comprehensive review of the similarities and differences between various features of Pluto and Triton for a big-picture view of how these planetary bodies may be connected. In addition, the book reviews the far too limited spacecraft exploration that has been devoted to both of these planetary bodies and outlines the outstanding questions that future missions will need to answer. This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students alike in planetary science. It is not a course text but could be used for planetary science courses focused on the outer solar system.Researchers and graduate students in planetary science.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Adrienn Luspay-Kuti is a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. She has over a decade of experience studying icy bodies in the outer Solar System, including Titan, Pluto and Triton. Her experience with planetary missions includes flight instrument calibration, data analysis, and various leadership roles. Dr. Luspay-Kuti is the Principal Investigator (PI) for the Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding on NASA's flagship-class mission, Europa Clipper, and she was also a science team member of the Rosetta Orbiter for Ion and Neutral Analysis mass spectrometer onboard the Rosetta mission. Kathy Mandt is a Planetary Scientist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Her research includes the origin and evolution of volatiles throughout the solar system and the role of dynamics, chemistry and atmospheric evolution in understanding this. Dr. Mandt previously served as the chief scientist for Exoplanets and the astrobiology section manager at the Johns Hopkins Applied Research Laboratory, an adjoint professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and as a senior research scientist at the Southwest Research Institute.Title from PDF title page (viewed on February 3, 2025).
