The temporal evolution of exposed water ice-rich areas on the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko: spectral analysis

A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +16

Water ice-rich patches have been detected on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the VIRTIS hyperspectral imager on-board the Rosetta spacecraft, since the orbital in…

Evolution of CO, CH, and OCS abundances relative to HO in the coma of comet 67P around perihelion from Rosetta/VIRTIS-H observations

D. Bockelée-Morvan, J. Crovisier, S. Erard +19

Infrared observations of the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were carried out from July to September 2015, i.e., around perihelion (13 August 2015), with the high-resolution chan…

Detection of exposed HO ice on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

M. A. Barucci, G. Filacchione, S. Fornasier +42

Since the orbital insertion of the Rosetta spacecraft, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) has been mapped by OSIRIS camera and VIRTIS spectro-imager, producing a huge quanti…

Saturn's icy satellites investigated by Cassini - VIMS. IV. Daytime temperature maps

Gianrico Filacchione, Emiliano D'Aversa, Fabrizio Capaccioni +13

The spectral position of the 3.6 micron continuum peak measured on Cassini-VIMS I/F spectra is used as a marker to infer the temperature of the regolith particles covering the surf…
