A Tale of 3 Dwarf Planets: Ices and Organics on Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar from JWST Spectroscopy

Autor: Emery, J. P., Wong, I., Brunetto, R., Cook, J. C., Pinilla-Alonso, N., Stansberry, J. A., Holler, B. J., Grundy, W. M., Protopapa, S., Souza-Feliciano, A. C., Fernández-Valenzuela, E., Lunine, J. I., Hines, D. C.

We observed Sedna, Gonggong, and Quaoar with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). All three bodies were observed in the low-resolution prism mode at wavelengths spanning 0.7 to 5.2 $\mu$m. Quaoar was also observed at 10x h

Neptune's moon Triton shares many similarities with Pluto, including volatile cycles of N2, CH4 and CO, and represents a benchmark case for the study of surface-atmosphere interactions on volatile-rich KBOs. Within the context of New Horizons observa
