Uncertainty in Grain Size Estimations of Volatiles on Trans-Neptunian Objects and Kuiper Belt Objects
We analyze the uncertainty in grain size estimation of pure methane (CH4) and nitrogen saturated with methane (N2:CH4) ices, the most abundant volatile materials on trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs). We compare the single scattering albedo, which determines the grain size...
