Scientific paper

Recent missions have renewed interests in the atmosphere of intermediate size objects. A subset of these objects with significant atmospheres may have considerable molecular escape occurring. We show that escape occurs in a kinetic manner and not as an organized outflow as previously modeled on Pluto and similar sized objects. The method introduced couples a fluid model of the lower atmosphere and a kinetic model of the upper atmosphere to determine escape rate and show the transition of atmospheric structure from dense to tenuous regimes.
