GAUSS -- A Sample Return Mission to Ceres
Xian Shi, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Henry Hsieh +26
The goal of Project GAUSS is to return samples from the dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the most accessible ocean world candidate and the largest reservoir of water in the inner solar…
Surface evolution of the Anhur region on comet 67P from high-resolution OSIRIS images
S. Fornasier, C. Feller, P. H. Hasselmann +34
The southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) became observable by the Rosetta mission in March 2015, a few months before cometary southern vernal equinox. The A…
ROSETTA/OSIRIS observations of the 67P nucleus during the April 2016 flyby: high-resolution spectrophotometry
C. Feller, S. Fornasier, S. Ferrari +35
In April 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft performed a low-altitude low-phase-angle flyby over the Imhotep-Khepry transition of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's nucleus. The OSIRIS/Narrow-An…
Evidence for the formation of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through gravitational collapse of a bound clump of pebbles
Jürgen Blum, Bastian Gundlach, Maya Krause +19
The processes that led to the formation of the planetary bodies in the Solar System are still not fully understood. Using the results obtained with the comprehensive suite of instr…
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…
Seasonal Mass Transfer on the Nucleus of Comet 67P/Chuyumov-Gerasimenko
H. U. Keller, S. Mottola, S. F. Hviid +47
We collect observational evidence that supports the scheme of mass transfer on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The obliquity of the rotation axis of 67P causes stro…
The highly active Anhur-Bes regions in the 67P/Churyumov - Gerasimenko comet: results from OSIRIS/ROSETTA observations
S. Fornasier, C. Feller, J. C. Lee +51
The Southern hemisphere of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet has become visible from Rosetta only since March 2015. It was illuminated during the perihelion passage and therefore…
Modeling of the outburst on July 29th, 2015 observed with OSIRIS cameras in the southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
A. Gicquel, M. Rose, J. -B. Vincent +60
Images of the nucleus and the coma (gas and dust) of comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko have been acquired by the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System)…
Are fractured cliffs the source of cometary dust jets ? Insights from OSIRIS/Rosetta at 67P
J. -B. Vincent, N. Oklay, M. Pajola +52
Dust jets, i.e. fuzzy collimated streams of cometary material arising from the nucleus, have been observed in-situ on all comets since the Giotto mission flew by comet 1P/Halley in…
