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…

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…
