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…
Pits formation from volatile outgassing on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
O. Mousis, A. Guilbert-Lepoutre, B. Brugger +8
We investigate the thermal evolution of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's subsurface in the Seth_01 region, where active pits have been observed by the ESA/Rosetta mission. Our sim…
Temporal morphological changes in the Imhotep region of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
O. Groussin, H. Sierks, C. Barbieri +45
We report on the first major temporal morphological changes observed on the surface of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in the smooth terrains of the Imhotep region.…
Gravitational slopes, geomorphology, and material strengths of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from OSIRIS observations
O. Groussin, L. Jorda, A. -T. Auger +49
We study the link between gravitational slopes and the surface morphology on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and provide constraints on the mechanical properties of…
Measurements of the Near-Nucleus Coma of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with the Alice Far-Ultraviolet Spectrograph on Rosetta
Paul D. Feldman, Michael F. A'Hearn, Jean-Loup Bertaux +8
Aims. The Alice far-ultraviolet spectrograph onboard Rosetta is designed to observe emissions from various atomic and molecular species from within the coma of comet 67P/ Churyumov…
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko: Constraints on its origin from OSIRIS observations
H. Rickman, S. Marchi, M. F. A'Hearn +12
One of the main aims of the ESA Rosetta mission is to study the origin of the solar system by exploring comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at close range. In this paper we discuss the…
Spectrophotometric properties of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from the OSIRIS instrument onboard the ROSETTA spacecraft
S. Fornasier, P. H. Hasselmann, M. A. Barucci +51
The Rosetta mission of the European Space Agency has been orbiting the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) since August 2014 and is now in its escort phase. A large complement of…
