Scientific paper

A pure CH4 atmosphere would rapidly escape from Pluto. For such an
atmosphere, even CH4 frosts on Pluto's surface would completely
sublimate on a time scale short compared to Pluto's life. Observations
of CH4 therefore imply that its atmosphere must also contain another gas
in significant quantity.
