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…
The Castalia Mission to Main Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro
C. Snodgrass, G. H. Jones, H. Boehnhardt +41
We describe Castalia, a proposed mission to rendezvous with a Main Belt Comet (MBC), 133P/Elst-Pizarro. MBCs are a recently discovered population of apparently icy bodies within th…
The highly active Anhur-Bes regions in the 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko comet: results from OSIRIS/ROSETTA observations
S. Fornasier, C. Feller, J. C. Lee +51
The Southern hemisphere of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet has become visible from Rosetta only since March 2015. It was illuminated during the perihelion passage and therefore…
Modeling of the outburst on July 29th, 2015 observed with OSIRIS cameras in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
A. Gicquel, M. Rose, J. -B. Vincent +60
Images of the nucleus and the coma (gas and dust) of comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko have been acquired by the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System)…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
Evidence for Surface Variegation in Rosetta OSIRIS Images of Asteroid 2867 Steins
S. E. Schröder, H. U. Keller, P. Gutierrez +4
The OSIRIS camera onboard Rosetta successfully acquired images of asteroid 2867 Steins through a variety of color filters during the flyby on 5 September 2008. The best images of t…
