Modeling of the spectral properties of the dwarf planet Makemake
Keywords:
small Solar system bodies, planetary surfaces, spectral modeling
Abstract
We present the results of spectral modeling for dwarf planet Makemake in the visible and near infrared ranges. The spectral modeling of surface properties suggests the presence of both large and small (~1 μm) grains of methane ice on the top surface, and possible presence of ethane ice and other long-chain hydrocarbons.
