Nitrogen Loss from Pluto’s Birth to the Present Day via Atmospheric Escape, Photochemical Destruction, and Impact Erosion

We estimate the loss of nitrogen from Pluto over its lifetime, including the giant planet instability period, which we term the “Wild Years.” We analyze the orbital migration of 53 simulated Plutinos, which are Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) captured into 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune during th...
