Extended Data Fig. 8: Simulated emission flux for all Pluto “seasonal cycles” simulations.
From: Evidence of haze control of Pluto’s atmospheric heat balance from JWST/MIRI thermal light curves
Top: Best fits of the JWST data of Pluto’s emission flux contrasts at 18, 21 and 25 µm. Black points with error bars: observations (corrected for solar reflected component). Colors: Best fit surface model for the different scenarios. Middle: Same, but for absolute emission fluxes of Pluto, with errors at 3σ. Bottom: Contribution of the CH4 ice unit (triangles) and dark materials unit (squares) to Pluto’s thermal emission for the different simulations.
