TL;DR: The VIRTIS instrument on board the Rosetta spacecraft has provided evidence of carbon-bearing compounds on the nucleus of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and no ice-rich patches are observed, indicating a generally dehydrated nature for the surface currently illuminated by the Sun.

TL;DR: The stratigraphy observed on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is the result of evolutionary processes affecting the uppermost metres of the nucleus and does not necessarily require a global layering to have occurred at the time of the comet’s formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple subglacial water bodies below the south pole of Mars unveiled by new MARSIS data
Sebastian Lauro,Elena Pettinelli,Graziella Caprarelli,L. Guallini,Angelo Pio Rossi,Elisabetta Mattei,Barbara Cosciotti,Andrea Cicchetti,Francesco Soldovieri,M. Cartacci,Federico Di Paolo,Raffaella Noschese,Roberto Orosei +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented and discussed the results obtained by a new method of analysis of the complete MARSIS dataset, based on signal processing procedures usually applied to terrestrial polar ice sheets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) after nine years of operation: A summary
Roberto Orosei,Rolando L. Jordan,David Morgan,M. Cartacci,Andrea Cicchetti,Firdevs Duru,D. A. Gurnett,Essam Heggy,D. L. Kirchner,Raffaella Noschese,Wlodek Kofman,A. Masdea,Jeffrey J. Plaut,Roberto Seu,Thomas R. Watters,Giovanni Picardi +15 more
TL;DR: The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) as discussed by the authors is a top-side ionosphere sounder that transmits low-frequency, wide-band radio pulses penetrating below the surface and reflected by dielectric discontinuities linked to structural or compositional changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The infrared spectroscopic identification of a CO2 ice–rich surface area located in the Anhur region of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is reported, interpreted as the result of the extreme seasonal changes induced by the rotation and orbit of the comet.
