Pluto gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane:carbon monoxide (N₂:CH₄:CO with a 94.95:5:0.05 ratio) gas precursors by RF plasma discharge at 300 K temperature and 0.9 mbar pressure in the PAMPRE experimental setup at Laboratoire ATMosphère Observations Spatiales (LATMOS), Guyancourt, France.
Tholin sample produced as spherical particles.
The imaginary part (k) of the complex index of refraction was determined from optical measurements done at room temperature, in ambient air, by reflection spectroscopy from 0.50 to 2.48 µm.
