This, to my knowledge, is the first refereed paper to be published on Rosetta's observations of C-G (and it's free to access!):

QUOTE diameter range from 0.2 to 2 m Whoa. I only did a quick initial scan the Rotundi, et al paper, but those grains are HUGE. I was thinking mm- to cm-sized particles. They are likely silicate/organics (doubtful with any ice) "fluffballs".-Bill -------------------- |
