Infrared detection of aliphatic organics on a cometary nucleus

A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +28

The ESA Rosetta mission has acquired unprecedented measurements of comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) nucleus surface, whose composition, as determined by in situ and…

Ammonium salts are a reservoir of nitrogen on a cometary nucleus and possibly on some asteroids

O. Poch, I. Istiqomah, E. Quirico +29

The measured nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in comets is lower than for the Sun, a discrepancy which could be alleviated if there is an unknown reservoir of nitrogen in comets. The nucle…

AMBITION -- Comet Nucleus Cryogenic Sample Return (White paper for ESA's Voyage 2050 programme)

D. Bockelée-Morvan, G. Filacchione, K. Altwegg +27

This white paper proposes that AMBITION, a Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission, be a cornerstone of ESA's Voyage 2050 programme. We summarise some of the most important questions s…

Diurnal variation of dust and gas production in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at the inbound equinox as seen by OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M on board Rosetta

C. Tubiana, G. Rinaldi, C. Güttler +53

On 27 Apr 2015, when 67P/C-G was at 1.76 au from the Sun and moving towards perihelion, the OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M instruments on Rosetta observed the evolving dust and gas coma durin…

Synthesis of the Morphological Description of Cometary Dust at Comet 67P

C. Güttler, T. Mannel, A. Rotundi +28

Before Rosetta, the space missions Giotto and Stardust shaped our view on cometary dust, supported by plentiful data from Earth based observations and interplanetary dust particles…
