Infrared detection of aliphatic organics on a cometary nucleus
A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +28
The ESA Rosetta mission has acquired unprecedented measurements of comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) nucleus surface, whose composition, as determined by in situ and…
Saturn's icy satellites investigated by Cassini - VIMS. IV. Daytime temperature maps
Gianrico Filacchione, Emiliano D'Aversa, Fabrizio Capaccioni +13
The spectral position of the 3.6 micron continuum peak measured on Cassini-VIMS I/F spectra is used as a marker to infer the temperature of the regolith particles covering the surf…
Evidence of Titan's Climate History from Evaporite Distribution
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Jason W. Barnes, Christophe Sotin +8
Water-ice-poor, 5-m-bright material on Saturn's moon Titan has previously been geomorphologically identified as evaporitic. Here we present a global distribution of the occurren…
The contamination of the surface of Vesta by impacts and the delivery of the dark material
D. Turrini, J. -P. Combe, T. B. McCord +10
The Dawn spacecraft observed the presence of dark material, which in turn proved to be associated with OH and H-rich material, on the surface of Vesta. The source of this dark mate…
Delivery of Dark Material to Vesta via Carbonaceous Chondritic Impacts
Vishnu Reddy, Lucille Le Corre, David P. O'Brien +22
NASA's Dawn spacecraft observations of asteroid (4) Vesta reveal a surface with the highest albedo and color variation of any asteroid we have observed so far. Terrains rich in low…
