The polarisation properties of the HD 181327 debris ring. Evidence for sub-micron particles from scattered light observations
Julien Milli, Elodie Choquet, Ryo Tazaki +26
Polarisation is a powerful remote-sensing tool to study the nature of particles scattering the starlight. It is widely used to characterise interplanetary dust particles in the Sol…
Determining the dust environment of an unknown comet for a spacecraft fly-by: The case of ESA's Comet Interceptor mission
Raphael Marschall, Vladimir Zakharov, Cecilia Tubiana +12
We present a statistical approach to assess the dust environment for a yet unknown comet (or when its parameters are known only with large uncertainty). This is of particular impor…
VLT spectropolarimetry of comet 67P: Dust environment around the end of its intense Southern summer
Yuna Kwon, Stefano Bagnulo, Johannes Markkanen +5
We report our new spectropolarimetric observations for 67P dust over 4,000--9,000 Angstrom using the ESO/Very Large Telescope in January--March 2016 (phase angle ranging 26--…
ESA F-Class Comet Interceptor: Trajectory Design to Intercept a Yet-to-be-discovered Comet
Joan Pau Sánchez, David Morante, Pablo Hermosin +8
Comet Interceptor (Comet-I) was selected in June 2019 as the first ESA F-Class mission. In 2029+, Comet-I will hitch a ride to a Sun-Earth L2 quasi-halo orbit, as a co-passenger of…
Zodiacal light observations and its link with cosmic dust: a review
Jeremie Lasue, Anny-Chantal Levasseur-Regourd, Jean-Baptiste Renard
The zodiacal light is a night-glow mostly visible along the plane of the ecliptic. It represents the background radiation associated with solar light scattered by the tenuous flatt…
Linking studies of tiny meteoroids, zodiacal dust, cometary dust and circumstellar disks
Anny-Chantal Levasseur-Regourd, Clément Baruteau, Jérémie Lasue +2
Tiny meteoroids entering the Earth's atmosphere and inducing meteor showers have long been thought to originate partly from cometary dust. Together with other dust particles, they…
AMBITION -- Comet Nucleus Cryogenic Sample Return (White paper for ESA's Voyage 2050 programme)
D. Bockelée-Morvan, G. Filacchione, K. Altwegg +27
This white paper proposes that AMBITION, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission, be a cornerstone of ESA's Voyage 2050 programme. We summarise some of the most important questions s…
Dust of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko collected by Rosetta/MIDAS: classification and extension to the nanometre scale
T. Mannel, M. S. Bentley, P. D. Boakes +9
The properties of the smallest subunits of cometary dust contain information on their origin and clues to the formation of planetesimals and planets. Compared to IDPs or particles…
Diurnal variation of dust and gas production in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at the inbound equinox as seen by OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M on board Rosetta
C. Tubiana, G. Rinaldi, C. Güttler +53
On 27 Apr 2015, when 67P/C-G was at 1.76 au from the Sun and moving towards perihelion, the OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M instruments on Rosetta observed the evolving dust and gas coma durin…
Interpretation through experimental simulations of phase functions revealed by Rosetta in 67P dust coma
Anny-Chantal Levasseur-Regourd, Jean-Baptiste Renard, Edith Hadamcik +3
Context: The dust-brightness phase curves that have been measured by the OSIRIS cameras on board the Rosetta spacecraft within the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) pre…
Flattened loose particles from numerical simulations compared to Rosetta collected particles
Jeremie Lasue, Isabelle Maroger, Robert Botet +5
Cometary dust particles are remnants of the primordial accretion of refractory material that occurred during the initial stages of the Solar System formation. Understanding their p…
Synthesis of the Morphological Description of Cometary Dust at Comet 67P
C. Güttler, T. Mannel, A. Rotundi +28
Before Rosetta, the space missions Giotto and Stardust shaped our view on cometary dust, supported by plentiful data from Earth based observations and interplanetary dust particles…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
Aggregate dust particles at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Mark S. Bentley, Roland Schmied, Thurid Mannel +9
Comets are thought to preserve almost pristine dust particles, thus providing a unique sample of the properties of the early solar nebula. The microscopic properties of this dust p…
ASIME 2016 White Paper: In-Space Utilisation of Asteroids: "Answers to Questions from the Asteroid Miners"
Amara L. Graps, Philippe Blondel, Grant Bonin +28
The aim of the Asteroid Science Intersections with In-Space Mine Engineering (ASIME) 2016 conference on September 21-22, 2016 in Luxembourg City was to provide an environment for t…
