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…

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…

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…
