摘要:

彗星爆发提供了一个有价值的窗口,以了解彗星核的组成,其在爆炸事件中强有力地喷出尘埃和挥发物,揭示了彗星的内部成分。了解不同类型的爆发如何影响尘埃性质和挥发性丰度,以更好地解释哪些特征可归因于原始成分,哪些特征是处理的结果,这是一项重要任务,最好采用多仪器方法。欧洲航天局前往67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko的\textit{Rosetta}飞行任务携带了一套能够在近核彗发中以前所未有的空间和光谱分辨率执行这一任务的仪器。在这项工作中,我们讨论了2015年11月7日发生的两次爆发,并由船上的三台仪器观察到:Alice紫外光谱仪,可见红外和热成像光谱仪(VIRTIS)以及光学,光谱和红外远程成像系统(OSIRIS)。总之,观察结果表明,混合气体和粉尘爆发可以有不同的光谱特征,代表其启动机制,与第一次爆发显示悬崖崩溃的起源和第二个更有代表性的新鲜挥发物暴露通过加深断裂的指标。这一分析开辟了未来工作的彗星爆发的远程光谱分类的可能性。

英文摘要:

Cometary outbursts offer a valuable window into the composition of comet nuclei with their forceful ejection of dust and volatiles in explosive events, revealing the interior components of the comet. Understanding how different types of outbursts influence the dust properties and volatile abundances to better interpret what signatures can be attributed to primordial composition and what features are the result of processing is an important task best undertaken with a multi-instrument approach. The European Space Agency \textit{Rosetta} mission to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko carried a suite of instruments capable of carrying out this task in the near-nucleus coma with unprecedented spatial and spectral resolution. In this work we discuss two outbursts that occurred November 7 2015 and were observed by three instruments on board: the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph, the Visual Infrared and Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS), and the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS). Together the observations show that mixed gas and dust outbursts can have different spectral signatures representative of their initiating mechanisms, with the first outburst showing indicators of a cliff collapse origin and the second more representative of fresh volatiles being exposed via a deepening fracture. This analysis opens up the possibility of remote spectral classification of cometary outbursts with future work.
