Impacts of thrusting, extensional faulting, and glaciation on cratering records of Pluto’s largest moon Charon: Implications for the evolution of Kuiper belt objects
A first-order question in the studies of the Solar System is how its outer zone known as the Kuiper belt was created and evolved. Two end-member models, involving coagulation vs. streaming instability, make different predictions—testable by the cratering history of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs)—about t...
