Scientific paper

In this paper, a comparison is presented of the changes in the insolation at Pluto, corresponding to three epochs during the dynamical history of the planet: t = -1, 0 and 0.5, where t is the time in millions of years A.D. The two extreme value of t coincide respectively with a maximum (126 deg) and a minimum (102 deg) value of the obliquity (epsilon). The other orbital elements i.e. the eccentricity (e) and the longitude of the perihelion (lambdap) which affect solar radiation and which are apt to significant periodic changes are also calculated for the times under consideration. In a series of figures, the combined influence of the evolving dynamic parameters on the daily insolation and on the mean (summer, winter, annual) daily insolation is illustrated.
