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…

Fragmentation Kinematics in Comet 332P/Ikeya-Murakami

David Jewitt, Max Mutchler, Harold Weaver +9

We present initial time-resolved observations of the split comet 332P/Ikeya-Murakami taken using the Hubble Space Telescope. Our images reveal a dust-bathed cluster of fragments re…

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…

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Active Asteroid 324P/La Sagra

David Jewitt, Jessica Agarwal, Harold Weaver +3

Hubble Space Telescope observations of active asteroid 324P/La Sagra near perihelion show continued mass loss consistent with the sublimation of near-surface ice. Isophotes of the…
