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…

Thermal fracturing on comets. Applications to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +12

We simulate the stresses induced by temperature changes in a putative hard layer near the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov--Gerasimenko with a thermo-viscoelastic model. Such a layer…

The reference frames of Mercury after MESSENGER

Alexander Stark, Jürgen Oberst, Frank Preusker +3

We report on recent refinements and the current status for the rotational state models and the reference frame of the planet Mercury. We summarize the performed measurements of Mer…

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…

Modeling of the outburst on July 29th, 2015 observed with OSIRIS cameras in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

A. Gicquel, M. Rose, J. -B. Vincent +60

Images of the nucleus and the coma (gas and dust) of comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko have been acquired by the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System)…
