Seasonal Mass Transfer on the Nucleus of Comet 67P/Chuyumov-Gerasimenko
H. U. Keller, S. Mottola, S. F. Hviid +47
We collect observational evidence that supports the scheme of mass transfer on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The obliquity of the rotation axis of 67P causes stro…
The dust environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from Rosetta OSIRIS and VLT observations in the 4.5 to 2.9 au heliocentric distance range inbound
F. Moreno, C. Snodgrass, O. Hainaut +51
The ESA Rosetta spacecraft, currently orbiting around comet 67P, has already provided in situ measurements of the dust grain properties from several instruments, particularly OSIRI…
Are fractured cliffs the source of cometary dust jets ? Insights from OSIRIS/Rosetta at 67P
J. -B. Vincent, N. Oklay, M. Pajola +52
Dust jets, i.e. fuzzy collimated streams of cometary material arising from the nucleus, have been observed in-situ on all comets since the Giotto mission flew by comet 1P/Halley in…
Inhomogeneities on the surface of 21 Lutetia, the asteroid target of the Rosetta mission
D. Perna, E. Dotto, M. Lazzarin +6
CONTEXT: In July 2010 the ESA spacecraft Rosetta will fly-by the main belt asteroid 21 Lutetia. Several observations of this asteroid have been so far performed, but its surface co…
