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 |

I was thinking about the 'Contact Binary. and the 'Eroded Neck' theories going on and thought I would add my twopence worth in favour of the 'Eroded Neck. camp.
While browsing here http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2015/03/20/co...-6-hours-later/ This image and this comment "On the large lobe, another striking feature catches the eye: the Aten region, an elongated depression between Ash, to the left, and Khepry, to the right." The difference between the smoother,elongated. central region compared to the left and right regions on the larger lobe, to my eye, also applies to the smaller lobe. This would indicate the same process happened to both lobes together. In other words they are the same object. |
