Notes.

(a)

Thermal parameters at Spitzer 2004 epoch.

(b)

Bolometric emissivities of tholin/H2O, CH4 and Charon.

(c)

Spectral emissivities or either CH4 only or all units.

(d)

Spitzer model: spectral emissivities of CH4 only defined at 70, 100, and 160 μm.

(e)

Models with seasonal inertia Γ = 2000 MKS. N/A in case 5b indicates no solution.
