CO2-driven surface changes in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Björn J. R. Davidsson, F. Peter Schloerb, Sonia Fornasier +24
Between 2014 December 31 and 2015 March 17, the OSIRIS cameras on Rosetta documented the growth of a 140m wide and 0.5m deep depression in the Hapi region on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Ge…
Migrating Scarps as a Significant Driver for Cometary Surface Evolution
Samuel Birch, Alexander Hayes, Orkan Umurhan +10
Rosetta observations of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) reveal that most changes occur in the fallback-generated smooth terrains, vast deposits of granular material blanketing the…
Local manifestations of cometary activity
Jean-Baptiste Vincent, Tony Farnham, Ekkehard Kührt +5
Comets are made of volatile and refractory material and naturally experience various degrees of sublimation as they orbit around the Sun. This gas release, accompanied by dust, rep…
Tensile Strength of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Nucleus Material from Overhangs
N. Attree, O. Groussin, L. Jorda +52
We directly measure twenty overhanging cliffs on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko extracted from the latest shape model and estimate the minimum tensile strengths nee…
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…
