Evolution of the Dust Size Distribution of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from 2.2. AU to Perihelion

Marco Fulle, +81 more
TL;DR: The Rosetta probe, orbiting Jupiter-family comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, has been detecting individual dust particles of mass larger than 10−10 kg by means of the GIADA dust collector and the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera and Narrow Angle Camera as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redistribution of particles across the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

TL;DR: In this article, the surface properties of areas on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were investigated using the OSIRIS imaging system onboard the Rosetta spacecraft.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional surface morphology of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from Rosetta/OSIRIS images

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an overview of the regional morphology of comet 67P/C-G and used the images that were acquired at orbits ~20-30 km from the center of the comet to distinguish different regions on the surface and introduce the basic regional nomenclature adopted by all papers in this issue that address the comet morphology and surface processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Summer fireworks on comet 67P

Jean-Baptiste Vincent, +60 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported on series of more energetic transient events observed during the three months surrounding the comet's perihelion passage in August 2015, and detected and characterized 34 outbursts with the Rosetta cameras, one every 2.4 nucleus rotation.
