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…

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…

Laboratory simulations of the Vis-NIR spectra of comet 67P using sub-μm sized cosmochemical analogues

Batiste Rousseau, Stéphane Érard, Pierre Beck +15

Laboratory spectral measurements of relevant analogue materials were performed in the framework of the Rosetta mission in order to explain the surface spectral properties of comet…

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…
