On Charon’s Far-ultraviolet Surface Reflectance

On Charon’s Far-ultraviolet Surface Reflectance

We present the first measurements of Charon’s far-ultraviolet (FUV) surface reflectance, obtained by the Alice spectrograph on New Horizons. We find no measurable flux shortward of 1650 Å, and Charon’s geometric albedo is
