Models of Rosetta/OSIRIS 67P dust coma phase function

Fernando Moreno, Daniel Guirado, Olga Muñoz +39

The phase function of the dust coma of comet 67P has been determined from Rosetta/OSIRIS images \citep{Bertini17}. This function show a deep minimum at phase angles near 100$^\circ…

Evidence of sub-surface energy storage in comet 67P from the outburst of 2016 July 3

J. Agarwal, V. Della Corte, P. D. Feldman +67

On 3 July 2016, several instruments on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected signs of an outburst event on comet 67P, at a heliocentric distance of 3.32 AU from the sun, outbound…

Constraints on cometary surface evolution derived from a statistical analysis of 67P's topography

J. -B. Vincent, S. F. Hviid, S. Mottola +51

We present a statistical analysis of the distribution of large scale topographic features on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We observe that the cumulative cliff height distributi…

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…

UV to far-IR reflectance spectra of carbonaceous chondrites. I. Implications for remote characterization of dark primitive asteroids targeted by sample-return missions

Josep M. Trigo-Rodriguez, Carles E. Moyano-Cambero, Jordi Llorca +8

We analyze here a wide sample of carbonaceous chondrites from historic falls (e.g. Allende, Cold Bokkeveld, Kainsaz, Leoville, Murchison, Murray and Orgueil), and from NASA Antarct…
