Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Evidence for Galactic Cosmic Ray Processing
R. Maggiolo, F. Dhooghe, G. Gronoff +2
Spectral observations of 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) with JWST/NIRSpec and SPHEREx reveal an extreme CO2 enrichment (CO2/H2O = 7.6+-0.3) that is 4.5 sigma above solar system comet trends…
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…
The Effect of Cosmic Rays on Cometary Nuclei: I Dose deposition
G. Gronoff, R. Maggiolo, G. Cessateur +9
Comets are small bodies thought to contain the most pristine material in the solar system. However, since their formation 4.5 Gy ago, they have been altered by different processes.…
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…
