Cometary dust collected by MIDAS on board Rosetta II. Particle shape descriptors and pristineness evaluation

M. Kim, T. Mannel, J. Lasue +4

The MIDAS (Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System) atomic force microscope on board the Rosetta comet orbiter investigated and measured the 3D topography of a few hundred nm to tens of…

Cometary dust collected by MIDAS on board Rosetta. I. Dust particle catalog and statistics

M. Kim, T. Mannel, P. D. Boakes +5

We aim to catalog all dust particles collected and analyzed by MIDAS, together with their main statistical properties such as size, height, basic shape descriptors, and collection…

Flattened loose particles from numerical simulations compared to Rosetta collected particles

Jeremie Lasue, Isabelle Maroger, Robert Botet +5

Cometary dust particles are remnants of the primordial accretion of refractory material that occurred during the initial stages of the Solar System formation. Understanding their p…

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…

The Castalia Mission to Main Belt Comet 133P/Elst-Pizarro

C. Snodgrass, G. H. Jones, H. Boehnhardt +41

We describe Castalia, a proposed mission to rendezvous with a Main Belt Comet (MBC), 133P/Elst-Pizarro. MBCs are a recently discovered population of apparently icy bodies within th…

Aggregate dust particles at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Mark S. Bentley, Roland Schmied, Thurid Mannel +9

Comets are thought to preserve almost pristine dust particles, thus providing a unique sample of the properties of the early solar nebula. The microscopic properties of this dust p…
