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 |

QUOTE Organic molecules on comets: Philae's first results from Churi prove surprising Date: July 30, 2015 Source: CNRS Summary: Organic molecules never previously observed in comets, a relatively varied structure on the surface but a fairly homogeneous interior, organic compounds forming agglomerates rather than being dispersed in the ice: these are just some of first results provided by Philae on the surface of comet Churi. These in situ findings, which contain a wealth of completely new information, reveal several differences in comparison with previous observations of comets and current models... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/...50730172518.htm Is it from this work or from later data? There will no doubt be fascinating geochemistry based on temperatures and pressures _over the time period involved_ that would be impossible to duplicate in the lab. --Bill -------------------- |
