Constraining models of activity on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with Rosetta trajectory, rotation, and water production measurements
Nicholas Attree, Laurent Jorda, Olivier Groussin +11
Aims. We use four observational data sets, mainly from the Rosetta mission, to constrain the activity pattern of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Methods. We develop…
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko rotation changes derived from sublimation induced torques
Tobias Kramer, Matthias Laeuter, Stubbe Hviid +3
(Context) The change of the rotation period and the orientation of the rotation axis of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) is deducible from images taken by the scientific i…
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…
Thermal fracturing on comets. Applications to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +12
We simulate the stresses induced by temperature changes in a putative hard layer near the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov--Gerasimenko with a thermo-viscoelastic model. Such a layer…
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…
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…
