Summer outbursts in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as observed by Rosetta-VIRTIS by Rinaldi, G, Bockelée-Morvan, D, Ciarniello, M, Tozzi, GP, Capaccioni, F, Ivanovski, SL, Filacchione, G, Fink, U, Doose, L, Taylor, F, Kappel, D, Erard, S, Leyrat, C, Raponi, A, D'Aversa, E, Capria, MT, Longobardo, A, Palomba, E, Tosi, F, Migliorini, A, Rotundi, A, Della Corte, V, Salatti, M

“…We present an analysis of transient events observed by the Visible InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer, instrument aboard Rosetta, for the dates of 2015 August 10, September 13 and 14, during the two months surrounding the comet perihelion passage of the Rosetta spacecraft. We detected and characterized events with life-times ranging from 26 min down to 6 min. …”

“…Here, we investigate the dust size distribution in 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/CG) using data from the Rosetta spacecraft that was in close proximity to the comet from 2014 August to 2016 September. …”

Diurnal variation of dust and gas production in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at the inbound equinox as seen by OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M on board Rosetta by Tubiana, C, Rinaldi, G, Guettler, C, Taylor, F, Et al.

“…</strong> On 27 April 2015, when comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was at 1.76 au from the Sun and moving toward perihelion, the OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M instruments on board the Rosetta spacecraft simultaneously observed the evolving dust and gas coma during a complete rotation of the comet. …”

Analysis of night-side dust activity on comet 67P observed by VIRTIS-M: a new method to constrain the thermal inertia on the surface by Rinaldi, G, Formisano, M, Kappel, D, Capaccioni, F, Bockelée-Morvan, D, Cheng, YC, Vincent, JB, Deshapriya, P, Arnold, G, Capria, MT, Ciarniello, M, D'Aversa, E, de Sanctis, MC, Doose, L, Erard, S, Federico, C, Filacchione, G, Fink, U, Leyrat, C, Longobardo, A, Magni, G, Migliorini, A, Mottola, S, Naletto, G, Raponi, A, Taylor, F, Tosi, F, Tozzi, GP, Salatti, M

“…On 2015 July 18, near perihelion at a heliocentric distance of 1.28 au, the Visible InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS-M) on board the Rosetta spacecraft had the opportunity of observing dust activity in the inner coma with a view of the night side (shadowed side) of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. …”
