Decimetre-scaled spectrophotometric properties of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from OSIRIS observations
C. Feller, S. Fornasier, P. H. Hasselmann +43
We present the results of the photometric and spectrophotometric properties of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko nucleus derived with the OSIRIS instrument during the closest fly-by ov…
Summer fireworks on comet 67P
J. -B. Vincent, M. F. A'Hearn, Z. -Y. Lin +52
During its two years mission around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, ESA's Rosetta spacecraft had the unique opportunity to follow closely a comet in the most active part of its or…
Detection of exposed HO ice on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
M. A. Barucci, G. Filacchione, S. Fornasier +42
Since the orbital insertion of the Rosetta spacecraft, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) has been mapped by OSIRIS camera and VIRTIS spectro-imager, producing a huge quanti…
Sublimation of icy aggregates in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko detected with the OSIRIS cameras onboard Rosetta
A. Gicquel, J. -B. Vincent, J. Agarwal +58
Beginning in March 2014, the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System) cameras began capturing images of the nucleus and coma (gas and dust) of comet 67P/…
Acceleration of Individual, Decimetre-sized Aggregates in the Lower Coma of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
J. Agarwal, M. F. A'Hearn, J. -B. Vincent +41
We present OSIRIS/NAC observations of decimetre-sized, likely ice-containing aggregates ejected from a confined region on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The images…
Changes in the physical environment of the inner coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with decreasing heliocentric distance
D. Bodewits, L. M. Lara, M. F. A'Hearn +43
The Wide Angle Camera of the OSIRIS instrument on board the Rosetta spacecraft is equipped with several narrowband filters that are centered on the emission lines and bands of vari…
A plausible link between the asteroid 21 Lutetia and CH carbonaceous chondrites
Carles E. Moyano-Cambero, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Jordi Llorca +3
A crucial topic in planetology research is establishing links between primitive meteorites and their parent asteroids. In this study we investigate the feasibility of a connection…
Observations and analysis of a curved jet in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Zhong-Yi Lin, I. -L. Lai, C. -C. Su +48
We analyze the physical properties and dynamical origin of a curved jet of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko that was observed repeatedly in several nucleus rotations starting on May…
The global surface composition of 67P/CG nucleus by Rosetta/VIRTIS. I) Prelanding mission phase
Gianrico Filacchione, Fabrizio Capaccioni, Mauro Ciarniello +27
From August to November 2014 the Rosetta orbiter has performed an extensive observation campaign aimed at the characterization of 67P/CG nucleus properties and to the selection of…
The dust environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from Rosetta OSIRIS and VLT observations in the 4.5 to 2.9 au heliocentric distance range inbound
F. Moreno, C. Snodgrass, O. Hainaut +51
The ESA Rosetta spacecraft, currently orbiting around comet 67P, has already provided in situ measurements of the dust grain properties from several instruments, particularly OSIRI…
The long-wavelength thermal emission of the Pluto-Charon system from Herschel observations. Evidence for emissivity effects
E. Lellouch, P. Santos-Sanz, S. Fornasier +9
Thermal observations of the Pluto-Charon system acquired by the Herschel Space Observatory in February 2012 are presented. They consist of photometric measurements with the PACS an…
Spectral variability on primitive asteroids of the Themis and Beagle families: space weathering effects or parent body heterogeneity?
S. Fornasier, C. Lantz, D. Perna +3
Themis is an old and statistically robust asteroid family populating the outer main belt, and resulting from a catastrophic collision that took place 2.51.0 Gyr ago. Within th…
