Photometry from Voyager 2: Initial Results from the Neptunian Atmosphere, Satellites, and Rings

Science, 1989
The Voyager photopolarimeter successfully accomplished its objectives for the Neptune encounter, performing measurements on the planet, several of its satellites, and its ring system. A photometric map of Neptune at 0.26 micrometer (μm) shows the planet to be bland, with no obvious contrast features. No polar haze was observed.

Thermal evolution of trans‐Neptunian objects, icy satellites, and minor icy planets in the early solar system

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2017
AbstractNumerical simulations are performed to understand the early thermal evolution and planetary scale differentiation of icy bodies with the radii in the range of 100–2500 km. These icy bodies include trans‐Neptunian objects, minor icy planets (e.g., Ceres, Pluto); the icy satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; and probably the icy ...

ALMA submm measurements of the trans-Neptunian binary system satellites Ilmarë, Actaea, Hi’iaka and Namaka

While a significant fraction of large Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) possess satellites, our understanding of the mechanisms that could lead to their formation of these systems remains limited. The prevailing view is that giant impacts are primarily responsible for creating these satellites; however, most simulations have focused on individual systems ...

A dynamical history of the inner Neptunian satellites and Martian weather : Viking observations and M.O. data assimilation techniques

1994
We examine a scenario involving the capture origin of Triton, and infer the dynamical history of the Neptune satellite system. Triton's post-capture orbit forced chaotic perturbations on the original inner satellites of Neptune, leading to their mutual collisions and self-destruction.
