The Geophysical Environment of (486958) Arrokoth-A Small Kuiper Belt Object Explored by New Horizons

James T. Keane et al.

Summary: NASA's New Horizons mission flew by a small Kuiper Belt Object (KBO), (486958) Arrokoth, revealing its interesting geological features and geophysical environment. Arrokoth's surface features have a complex relationship with its geophysical environment, with bright material concentrated in low gravity areas. By inferring density, it was found that Arrokoth has a low bulk density, which is crucial for understanding the formation of planetesimals in the early Solar System.

Photometry of Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth from New Horizons LORRI

Jason D. Hofgartner et al.

Summary: On January 1st, 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by the classical Kuiper belt object ArMkoth, analyzing its geometric albedo and presenting maps of its normal reflectance and hemispherical albedo. Arrokoth's properties suggest it is a cold classical Kuiper belt object, with a bilobate shape and consistent reflectance distributions between the two lobes. The average hemispherical albedo of ArMkoth is 0.063 at 610 nm.

The sublimative evolution of (486958) Arrokoth

Jordan K. Steckloff et al.

Summary: The study found that the surface of Arrokoth is not primordial, with most craters possibly dating from after the sublimative period, but its shape is indeed primordial. The rotation state of Arrokoth was not significantly affected by sublimative torques, and the observed rotation represents its state after formation.

On the origin & thermal stability of Arrokoth's and Pluto's ices

C. M. Lisse et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the long-term nature of stable majority ices in Kuiper Belt object MU69, finding that HCN, CH3OH, and H2O ices are the most refractory. It predicts future detection of HCN or poly-H2CO based species on MU69's surface. The study also suggests that methanol ice may be ubiquitous in the outer solar system and provides insights into the formation era of MU69 and the origins of icy bodies in the solar system.

A molecular wind blows out of the Kuiper belt

Q. Kral et al.

Summary: This study investigates the presence of gas in the Kuiper belt in our Solar System, finding that only bodies larger than 4 km can still contain CO ice. It predicts ongoing production of CO gas in the Kuiper belt and the existence of a gas wind spreading throughout the Solar System.

Thermophysical evolution of planetesimals in the primordial disc

Bjorn J. R. Davidsson

Summary: The researcher used the numerical simulation program NIMBUS to study the thermophysical evolution of planetesimals in the primordial disc before its disruption, finding that bodies with diameters ranging 4-200 km lost all their CO ice. In addition, they discussed the significant crystallization, CO:CO2 segregation, and CO2 sublimation that some bodies in the primordial disc may have experienced.
