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…
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…
Surface Compositions Across Pluto and Charon
W. M. Grundy, R. P. Binzel, B. J. Buratti +32
The New Horizons spacecraft mapped colors and infrared spectra across the encounter hemispheres of Pluto and Charon. The volatile ices CH, CO, and N, that dominate Pluto's…
Inflight Radiometric Calibration of New Horizons' Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC)
C. J. A. Howett, A. H. Parker, C. B. Olkin +35
We discuss two semi-independent calibration techniques used to determine the in-flight radiometric calibration for the New Horizons' Multi-spectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC). T…
The global surface composition of 67P/CG nucleus by Rosetta/VIRTIS. I) Prelanding mission phase
Gianrico Filacchione, Fabrizio Capaccioni, Mauro Ciarniello +27
From August to November 2014 the Rosetta orbiter has performed an extensive observation campaign aimed at the characterization of 67P/CG nucleus properties and to the selection of…
