Binary Planetesimal Formation from Gravitationally Collapsing Pebble Clouds

David Nesvorny, Rixin Li, Jacob B. Simon +4

Planetesimals are compact astrophysical objects roughly 1-1000 km in size, massive enough to be held together by gravity. They can grow by accreting material to become full-size pl…

Stability of Jovian Trojans and their collisional families

Timothy R. Holt, David Nesvorny, Jonathan Horner +6

The Jovian Trojans are two swarms of objects located around the L and L Lagrange points. The population is thought to have been captured by Jupiter during the Solar system'…

Limitations in the determination of surface emission distributions on comets through modelling of observational data -- A case study based on Rosetta observations

Raphael Marschall, Ying Liao, Nicolas Thomas +1

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta mission has returned a vast data set of measurements of the inner gas coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These measurements have bee…

Superparticle Method for Simulating Collisions

David Nesvorny, Andrew N. Youdin, Raphael Marschall +1

For problems in astrophysics, planetary science and beyond, numerical simulations are often limited to simulating fewer particles than in the real system. To model collisions, the…

Migrating Scarps as a Significant Driver for Cometary Surface Evolution

Samuel Birch, Alexander Hayes, Orkan Umurhan +10

Rosetta observations of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) reveal that most changes occur in the fallback-generated smooth terrains, vast deposits of granular material blanketing the…

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…
