But What About the Stellar Occultation Data of Pluto's Atmosphere - Ange...

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 13 Μαΐ 2016

Before
the flyby of NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, one of the major sources
of data about Pluto's atmosphere was ground-based observational data of
light intensity as Pluto moved in front of a background star. From
these data the temperature of Pluto's atmosphere as a function of
altitude was derived using various techniques. These techniques rely on
knowledge of the vertical temperature structure of Pluto's atmosphere
before doing the calculation from light intensity to temperature, the
very property that is being sought. Here I will make the distinction
between the "inverse problem" and "forward problem" of analyzing
ground-based stellar occultation data, and how we can ensure that we are
comparing "apples to apples" when comparing stellar occultation data,
model results, and data from other sources.
