Internal structure of Charon as described by Malamud et al. (2017)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a diagram of the internal structures of Charon, Pluto's companion, according to Malamud et al. (2017). Charon is assumed to form cold, undifferentiated, and porous. The work finds that the moon's interior goes through multiple processes that ultimately form several layers. The core is large in radius due to porosity and can divided into the inner dehydrated core and the outer hydrated core, with a transition zone in the middle. The overlying mantle consists of crystalline water ice and an increasing silicate fraction trend towards the surface. Silicate near the surface becomes more dehydrated, and the crust layer consists of amorphous water ice and anhydrous silicate. Paper: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/468/1/1056/3061365
