Tensile Strength of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Nucleus Material from Overhangs
N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +52
We directly measure twenty overhanging cliffs on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko extracted from the latest shape model and estimate the minimum tensile strengths nee…
Evidence of sub-surface energy storage in comet 67P from the outburst of 2016 July 3
J. Agarwal, V. Della Corte, P. D. Feldman +67
On 3 July 2016, several instruments on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected signs of an outburst event on comet 67P, at a heliocentric distance of 3.32 AU from the sun, outbound…
Evidence for the formation of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through gravitational collapse of a bound clump of pebbles
Jürgen Blum, Bastian Gundlach, Maya Krause +19
The processes that led to the formation of the planetary bodies in the Solar System are still not fully understood. Using the results obtained with the comprehensive suite of instr…
Constraints on cometary surface evolution derived from a statistical analysis of 67P's topography
J. -B. Vincent, S. F. Hviid, S. Mottola +51
We present a statistical analysis of the distribution of large scale topographic features on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We observe that the cumulative cliff height distributi…
Seasonal Mass Transfer on the Nucleus of Comet 67P/Chuyumov-Gerasimenko
H. U. Keller, S. Mottola, S. F. Hviid +47
We collect observational evidence that supports the scheme of mass transfer on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The obliquity of the rotation axis of 67P causes stro…
The highly active Anhur-Bes regions in the 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko comet: results from OSIRIS/ROSETTA observations
S. Fornasier, C. Feller, J. C. Lee +51
The Southern hemisphere of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet has become visible from Rosetta only since March 2015. It was illuminated during the perihelion passage and therefore…
