Physics

Scientific paper

The depth of Pluto's troposphere is unknown. We model stellar occultation data using a radiative-conductive-convective model. We find Pluto's troposphere to be less than 1 km in 1988, 2002, and 2006. The troposphere-included fits are slightly better than the troposphere-excluded fits. We find Pluto's surface pressure is increasing with time and its radius is 1173 km.
