Functionalization of Benzene Ices by Atomic Oxygen

Elettra L. Piacentino, Alexandra McKinnon, Nora Hänni +6

Small aromatic molecules, including functionalized derivatives of benzene, are known to be present throughout the different stages of star and planet formation. In particular, oxyg…

Detection of volatiles undergoing sublimation from 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko coma particles using ROSINA/COPS. II. The nude gauge

Boris Pestoni, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +5

In an earlier study, we reported that the ram gauge of the COmet Pressure Sensor (COPS), one of the three instruments of the Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analys…

Cyanogen, cyanoacetylene, and acetonitrile in comet 67P and their relationship to the cyano radical

N. Hänni, K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger +6

The cyano radical (CN) is one of the most frequently remotely observed species in space, also in comets. Data from the high-resolution Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer (DFMS) on b…

Detection of volatiles undergoing sublimation from 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko coma particles using ROSINA/COPS. I. The ram gauge

Boris Pestoni, Kathrin Altwegg, Hans Balsiger +5

The ESA Rosetta mission has allowed an extensive in-situ study of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In measurements performed by the ram gauge of the on-board COmet Pressure Sensor…

Molecule dependent oxygen isotopic ratios in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger, M. Combi +9

The ratios of the three stable oxygen isotopes 16O, 17O and 18O on Earth and, as far as we know in the solar system, show variations on the order of a few percent at most, with a f…
