Evidence for Abiotic Dimethyl Sulfide in Cometary Matter
Nora Hänni, Kathrin Altwegg, Michael Combi +5
Technological progress related to astronomical observatories such as the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) allows searching for signs of life beyond our Solar Sys…
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…
A Case for Electron-Astrophysics
Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks, Olga Alexandrova +27
A grand-challenge problem at the forefront of physics is to understand how energy is transported and transformed in plasmas. This fundamental research priority encapsulates the con…
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…
