Thermal and mechanical material properties determine comet evolution even solar system formation because comets are considered remnant volatile-rich planetesimals. Using data from the Multipurpose Sensors for Surface Sub-Surface Science (MUPUS) instrument package gathered at Philae landing site Abydos on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we found diurnal temperature to vary between 90 130 K. The surface emissivity was 0.97, local thermal inertia 85 ± 35 J m(-2) K(-1)s(-1/2). MUPUS probe did not...

From the operation of MUPUS thermal probe Spohn et al. (2015) concluded that material nucleus 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is likely to have a high strength, at least locally Philae landing site. In this work we consider derived strength in order constrain its granulation. For purpose performed numerical simulations long-term sintering ice–dust granular mixtures different granulation, covered by dust mantle. The mantle has thickness 0–16 cm, and (pore size temperature-dependent) conductivity....

In this paper we presented the results of laboratory experiments dealing with sliding desiccated sand on inclined surfaces cometary analogs. The were performed in a vacuum, using porous mixtures water ice and quartz sand. inclination angle samples was about 10 degrees lower than repose angle. possible when mobility coefficient defined as ratio forces unity i.e. layer whole not fluidized. observed effect due to rolling, or grains present surface. It is important, that process can be caused by...

We present a minimal model for the global carbon cycle of Earth containing reservoirs mantle, ocean floor, continental crust, biosphere, and kerogen, as well aggregated reservoir atmosphere. This is coupled to parameterised mantle convection describing thermal degassing history Earth. In this study evolution mean surface temperature, biomass, sizes over whole future under maturing Sun investigated. obtain reasonable values distribution in find that parameterisation hydrothermal flux pH past...

The paper presents experimental studies on the degassing of porous ice and mixtures sand in a vacuum. study aims to find relationship between surface recession rate subsurface temperature gradient as well granulation composition material. We propose an empirical equation tested samples with mass fraction non-volatile material range 0–3.65. Based proposed equation, calculations were carried out, which indicate possibility landslides inclined areas comet 9P/Tempel 1.
