Evidence of ammonium salts in comet 67P as explanation for the nitrogen depletion in cometary comae
K. Altwegg, H. Balsiger, J. -J. Berthelier +14
Cometary comae are generally depleted in nitrogen. The main carriers for volatile nitrogen in comets are NH3 and HCN. It is known that ammonia readily combines with many acids like…
ALMA and ROSINA detections of phosphorus-bearing molecules: the interstellar thread between star-forming regions and comets
V. M. Rivilla, M. N. Drozdovskaya, K. Altwegg +11
To understand how Phosphorus-bearing molecules are formed in star-forming regions, we have analysed ALMA observations of PN and PO towards the massive star-forming region AFGL 5142…
The Surface Distributions of the Production of the Major Volatile Species, H2O, CO2, CO and O2, from the Nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko throughout the Rosetta Mission as Measured by the ROSINA Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer
Michael Combi, Yinsi Shou, Nicolas Fougere +12
The Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA) suite of instruments operated throughout the over two years of the Rosetta mission operations in the vicinity…
Three-Dimensional Modeling of Callisto's Surface Sputtered Exosphere Environment
Audrey Vorburger, Martin Pfleger, Jesper Lindkvist +6
We study the release of various elements from Callisto's surface into its exosphere by plasma sputtering. The cold Jovian plasma is simulated with a 3D plasma-planetary interaction…
The evolution of the electron number density in the coma of comet 67P at the location of Rosetta from 2015 November through 2016 March
Erik Vigren, Niklas J. T. Edberg, Anders I. Eriksson +6
A comet ionospheric model assuming the plasma to move radially outward with the same bulk speed as the neutral gas and not being subject to severe reduction through dissociative re…
Ingredients for Solar-like Systems: protostar IRAS 16293-2422 B versus comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Maria N. Drozdovskaya, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Martin Rubin +2
Our modern day Solar System has yrs of evolution behind it with just a few relics of its birth conditions remaining. Comets are thought to be some of the most prist…
