Detection of ammonia on Pluto’s surface in a region of geologically recent tectonism

We report the detection of ammonia (NH(3)) on Pluto’s surface in spectral images obtained with the New Horizons spacecraft that show absorption bands at 1.65 and 2.2 μm. The ammonia signature is spatially coincident with a region of past extensional tectonic activity (Virgil Fossae) where the presen...
