P43D:
Cometary Processes in the Light of Rosetta I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 14913

Session Description:
The European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft will make an unprecedented controlled crash onto comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in late September 2016, providing close scrutiny of the comet until the very end. This session will focus on scientific results from this final stage of Rosetta’s life. The session will also include correlative studies among instruments from all phases of the mission; studies that incorporate ground-based observations for better temporal coverage and perspective; theoretical modeling of cometary processes; and interrelationships among comets and other small bodies.
