Impactor flux and cratering on the Pluto-Charon system
Aims. We study the impactor flux and cratering on Pluto and Charon caused by the collisional evolution of Plutinos. Plutinos are trans-Neptunian objects located at ∼39.5 AU, in the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune. Methods. We develop a statistical code that includes catastrophic collisions...
