Dust of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko collected by Rosetta/MIDAS: classification and extension to the nanometre scale
T. Mannel, M. S. Bentley, P. D. Boakes +9
The properties of the smallest subunits of cometary dust contain information on their origin and clues to the formation of planetesimals and planets. Compared to IDPs or particles…
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…
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…
MIDAS: Lessons learned from the first spaceborne atomic force microscope
Mark S. Bentley, Herman Arends, Bart Butler +6
The Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) atomic force microscope (AFM) onboard the Rosetta orbiter was the first such instrument launched into space in 2004. Designed only a…
