Fig. 3: Retrieved profiles of haze parameters.

From: A bimodal distribution of haze in Pluto’s atmosphere

Fig. 3

Under the scenario of the bimodal distribution, we retrieve vertical profiles for the (a) aggregate fractal dimension, (b) monomer/sphere radius, (c) number of monomers in each aggregate, and (d) haze particle number density, with which we derive profiles of the (e) aggregate effective radius, and (f) mass density assuming a material density of 1 gcm−3. The best-fit profiles are shown in the solid curves, while the 1-σ uncertainties of their posterior distribution functions are shown as shaded areas, with blue representing the aggregates population and orange representing the spheres population.
