Tensile Strength of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Nucleus Material from Overhangs
N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +52
We directly measure twenty overhanging cliffs on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko extracted from the latest shape model and estimate the minimum tensile strengths nee…
FUV Spectral Signatures of Molecules and the Evolution of the Gaseous Coma of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Paul D. Feldman, Michael F. A'Hearn, Jean-Loup Bertaux +10
The Alice far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph onboard Rosetta observed emissions from atomic and molecular species from within the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during t…
Evidence of sub-surface energy storage in comet 67P from the outburst of 2016 July 3
J. Agarwal, V. Della Corte, P. D. Feldman +67
On 3 July 2016, several instruments on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected signs of an outburst event on comet 67P, at a heliocentric distance of 3.32 AU from the sun, outbound…
Near-UV OH Prompt Emission in the Innermost Coma of 103P/Hartley 2
Fiorangela La Forgia, Dennis Bodewits, Michael F. A'Hearn +5
The Deep Impact spacecraft fly-by of comet 103P/Hartley 2 occurred on 2010 November 4, one week after perihelion with a closest approach (CA) distance of about 700 km. We used narr…
Constraints on cometary surface evolution derived from a statistical analysis of 67P's topography
J. -B. Vincent, S. F. Hviid, S. Mottola +51
We present a statistical analysis of the distribution of large scale topographic features on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We observe that the cumulative cliff height distributi…
Seasonal Mass Transfer on the Nucleus of Comet 67P/Chuyumov-Gerasimenko
H. U. Keller, S. Mottola, S. F. Hviid +47
We collect observational evidence that supports the scheme of mass transfer on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The obliquity of the rotation axis of 67P causes stro…
