Molecule dependent oxygen isotopic ratios in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger, M. Combi +9
The ratios of the three stable oxygen isotopes 16O, 17O and 18O on Earth and, as far as we know in the solar system, show variations on the order of a few percent at most, with a f…
Prestellar grain-surface origins of deuterated methanol in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Isaac R. H. G. Schroeder, Martin Rubin +6
Deuterated methanol is one of the most robust windows astrochemists have on the individual chemical reactions forming deuterium-bearing molecules and the physicochemical history of…
ROSINA ion zoo at Comet 67P
A. Beth, K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger +9
The Rosetta spacecraft escorted Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for 2 years along its journey through the Solar System between 3.8 and 1.24~au. Thanks to the high resolution mass s…
First in-situ detection of the CN radical in comets and evidence for a distributed source
Nora Hänni, Kathrin Altwegg, Boris Pestoni +4
Although the debate regarding the origin of the cyano (CN) radical in comets has been ongoing for many decades, it has yielded no definitive answer to date. CN could previously onl…
The gas production of 14 species from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko based on DFMS/COPS data from 2014-2016
Matthias Laeuter, Tobias Kramer, Martin Rubin +1
The coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has been probed by the Rosetta spacecraft and shows a variety of different molecules. The ROSINA COmet Pressure Sensor and the Double Fo…
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…
