Scientific paper
An algebraic approach originally intended for the heuristic modeling of the maculation effects of chromospherically active stars has been used to model the rotational modulation of Pluto's light. Two dark spots were found to model the 1982.2 data of Binzel and Mulholland (1983) best. These parameters are in reasonable agreement with the other published models of Pluto's surface for the data; however, this model cannot be well reconciled with older data sets. A possible solution is dynamic behavior of the dark features themselves, increasing in radius as perihelion is approached. A minimum in the introduction of ad hoc surface feature hypothesis is stressed in this treatment.
