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!):
The rotation state of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from approach observations with the OSIRIS cameras on Rosetta |

At AGU Sierks showed one of the photos with this "snow" of particles in bound orbits. A few looked exactly as described in the paper -- alternating bright and dark, which he said you could use to determine their spin rate. So far we've pretty much only seen releases of OSIRIS images of the nucleus, none of these aimed at particles near the nucleus. I can't wait for the data set release to examine those.
