Volatiles in the HO and CO ices of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Martin Rubin, Kathrin Altwegg, Jean-Jacques Berthelier +11
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) was the first mission that accompanied a comet over a substantial fraction of its orbit. On board was the ROSINA m…
Detection and characterization of wind-blown charged sand grains on Titan with the DraGMet/EFIELD experiment on Dragonfly
Audrey Chatain, Alice Le Gall, Jean-Jacques Berthelier +5
The EFIELD instrument is part of the geophysics and meteorology sensor package DraGMet on the Dragonfly mission, which will explore the surface of Titan in the mid-2030s. EFIELD co…
High D/H ratios in water and alkanes in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko measured with the Rosetta/ROSINA DFMS
Daniel R. Müller, Kathrin Altwegg, Jean-Jacques Berthelier +8
Isotopic abundances in comets are key to understanding the history and origin of material in the Solar System. Deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratios in water are available for several…
Refractory elements in the gas phase for comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Martin Rubin, Kathrin Altwegg, Jean-Jacques Berthelier +10
Results. We found that gas-phase silicon was present throughout the Rosetta mission. Furthermore, the presence of sodium and iron atoms near the comet's perihelion confirms that sp…
ROSINA ion zoo at Comet 67P
A. Beth, K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger +9
The Rosetta spacecraft escorted Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for 2 years along its journey through the Solar System between 3.8 and 1.24~au. Thanks to the high resolution mass s…
CHO-bearing molecules in Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Markus Schuhmann, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +10
In 2004, the Rosetta spacecraft was sent to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for the first ever long-term investigation of a comet. After its arrival in 2014, the spacecraft spent m…
Evidence of ammonium salts in comet 67P as explanation for the nitrogen depletion in cometary comae
K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger, J. -J. Berthelier +14
Cometary comae are generally depleted in nitrogen. The main carriers for volatile nitrogen in comets are NH3 and HCN. It is known that ammonia readily combines with many acids like…
Elemental and molecular abundances in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Martin Rubin, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +18
Comets are considered to be some of the most pristine and unprocessed solar system objects accessible to in-situ exploration. Investigating their molecular and elemental compositio…
A comparison between the two lobes of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko based on D/H ratios in H2O measured with the Rosetta/ROSINA DFMS
Isaac R. H. G. Schroeder, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +13
The nucleus of the Jupiter-family comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was discovered to be bi-lobate in shape when the European Space Agency spacecraft Rosetta first approached it in J…
The O/O ratio in Water in the Coma of Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko measured with the Rosetta / ROSINA Double-Focusing Mass Spectrometer
Isaac R. H. G. Schroeder, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +11
The European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft Rosetta accompanied the Jupiter-family comet (JFC) 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years along its trajectory through the inner…
Krypton isotopes and noble gas abundances in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Martin Rubin, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +24
The ROSINA mass spectrometer DFMS on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected the major isotopes of the noble gases argon, krypton, and xenon in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gera…
Evidence for depletion of heavy silicon isotopes at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
M. Rubin, K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger +17
Context. The Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA) was designed to measure the composition of the gas in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, t…
Impact of radiogenic heating on the formation conditions of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
O. Mousis, A. Drouard, P. Vernazza +19
Because of the high fraction of refractory material present in comets, the heat produced by the radiogenic decay of elements such as aluminium and iron can be high enough to induce…
