Double Gravity-Assist Rendezvous Trajectory to Halley's Comet Using Deep-Space Low Thrust
Roberto Flores, Alessandro Beolchi, Chiara Pozzi +4
The perihelion of comet 1P/Halley in 2061 is an excellent chance to revisit this object of outstanding scientific and cultural relevance. During its 1986 approach to the Sun, it wa…
Design of a low-thrust gravity-assisted rendezvous trajectory to Halley's comet
Roberto Flores, Alessandro Beolchi, Elena Fantino +4
Comets are the most pristine planetesimals left from the formation of the Solar System. They carry unique information on the materials and the physical processes which led to the p…
Preparing for the 2061 return of Halley's comet -- A rendezvous mission with an innovative imaging system
Cesare Barbieri, Alessandro Beolchi, Ivano Bertini +5
The return of Comet 1P/Halley will promote a wide interest for ground and space observations of a celestial body of outstanding scientific and cultural interest. In addition to rem…
The first ultraviolet detection of the Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar PSR B0540-69 and its multi-wavelength properties
R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer, A. de Luca +9
We observed the young ( yrs) pulsar PSR B0540-69 in the near-ultraviolet (UV) for the first time with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the {\em Hub…
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…
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…
