We monitor the seasonal erosion and accretion of dust deposits in the Imhotep, Hatmehit, and Ma’at regions of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko with OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera images. The vertical accuracy of such measurements is 0.2 m and the spatial scale of the images we used is lower than 0.60 m pixel−1. We calculate the height of 21 boulders by applying a tool that allows to measure the shadow length of a boulder projected on the surrounding dust deposit, assuming that any height variation is not due to boulder intrinsic change. Any boulder height variation provides a direct measurement about the thickness variation of the surrounding dust layer due to the occurring erosion and/or accretion. The analysis concerns the period from 2014 August, inbound to perihelion, to 2016 September, outbound. We measured the erosion in the Ma’at region of 0.6 ± 0.2 m from 2014 September 12 to December 2, and an erosion of 0.4 ± 0.3 m from 2014 December 3 to 2015 February 15. Then, we measured a dust deposition of 0.7 ± 0.3 m during the following perihelion phase, until 2016 May–September. This result confirms the link between the erosion of the Southern hemisphere and the fallout in the northern regions. The Imhotep and Hatmehit regions are characterized by a negligible erosion during the inbound orbit, consistent with pebble-made nucleus models predicting no erosion when the temperature of the nucleus surface is Ts < 205 K.

使用 OSIRIS 仪器对 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko 彗星上尘埃沉积物侵蚀和吸积的长期测量

我们使用 OSIRIS 窄角相机图像监测彗星 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko 的 Imhotep、Hatmehit 和 Ma'at 区域的尘埃沉积物的季节性侵蚀和吸积。这种测量的垂直精度为 0.2 m,我们使用的图像的空间尺度低于 0.60 m pixel-1。我们通过应用允许测量投射在周围尘埃沉积物上的巨石阴影长度的工具来计算 21 块巨石的高度,假设任何高度变化都不是由巨石固有变化引起的。任何巨石高度变化都可以直接测量由于发生的侵蚀和/或吸积引起的周围尘埃层的厚度变化。该分析涉及从 2014 年 8 月入境到近日点到 2016 年 9 月出境的这段时间。我们测量了 Ma'at 区域 0 的侵蚀。从 2014 年 9 月 12 日到 12 月 2 日为 6 ± 0.2 m,从 2014 年 12 月 3 日到 2015 年 2 月 15 日,侵蚀量为 0.4 ± 0.3 m。然后,我们在接下来的近日点阶段测量了 0.7 ± 0.3 m 的尘埃沉积,直到 2016 年 5 月-九月。这一结果证实了南半球的侵蚀与北部地区的辐射尘之间的联系。Imhotep 和 Hatmehit 区域的特点是在入站轨道期间的侵蚀可以忽略不计,这与预测当核表面温度为 Ts < 1000 时没有侵蚀的卵石核模型一致。205 千。这一结果证实了南半球的侵蚀与北部地区的辐射尘之间的联系。Imhotep 和 Hatmehit 区域的特点是在入站轨道期间的侵蚀可以忽略不计,这与预测当核表面温度为 Ts < 1000 时没有侵蚀的卵石核模型一致。205 千。这一结果证实了南半球的侵蚀与北部地区的辐射尘之间的联系。Imhotep 和 Hatmehit 区域的特征是在入站轨道期间的侵蚀可以忽略不计,这与预测当核表面温度为 Ts < Ts 时没有侵蚀的卵石核模型一致。205 千。
