Determination of the light curve of the Rosetta target Asteroid (2867) Steins by the OSIRIS cameras onboard Rosetta
M. Kueppers, S. Mottola, S. C. Lowry +9
Context: In 2004 asteroid (2867) Steins has been selected as a flyby target for the Rosetta mission. Determination of its spin period and the orientation of its rotation axis are e…
Automatic Removal of Cosmic Ray Signatures on Deep Impact CCDs
S. I. Ipatov, M. F. A'Hearn, K. P. Klaasen
The results of recognition of cosmic ray (CR) signatures on a single image were analyzed for several codes written by several authors. For most visual images made during low solar…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 with Alice/Rosetta during the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, S. Alan Stern, Andrew J. Steffl +5
We report on spectroscopic observations of periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 by the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the Rosetta spacecraft in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 during the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, Stephan R. McCandliss, Matthew Route +4
We report on the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission. Our objectives were to study the generation an…
Carbon Monoxide in Comet 9P/Tempel 1 before and after the Deep Impact Encounter
Paul D. Feldman, Roxana E. Lupu, Stephan R. McCandliss +4
One of the goals of the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA's Deep Impact mission was to study the generation and evolutio…
Alice: The Rosetta Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph
S. A. Stern, D. C. Slater, J. Scherrer +8
We describe the design, performance and scientific objectives of the NASA-funded ALICE instrument aboard the ESA Rosetta asteroid flyby/comet rendezvous mission. ALICE is a lightwe…
