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…
A possibly universal red chromophore for modeling color variations on Jupiter
L. A. Sromovsky, K. H. Baines, P. M. Fry +1
A new laboratory-generated chemical compound made from photodissociated ammonia (NH3) molecules reacting with acetylene (C2H2) was suggested as a possible coloring agent for Jupite…
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…
Silicates on Iapetus from Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer
Cindy L. Young, James J. Wray, Roger N. Clark +5
We present the first spectral features obtained from Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) for any icy moon. The spectral region covered by CIRS focal planes (FP) 3 and…
Destruction and Observational Signatures of Sun-Impacting Comets
John C. Brown, Robert W. Carlson, Mark P. Toner
Motivated by recent data on comets in the low corona, we discuss destruction of sun impacting comets in the dense lower solar atmosphere. Perihelion distances q less than the solar…
