The Rosetta campaign to detect an exosphere at Lutetia

The Rosetta campaign to detect an exosphere at Lutetia

On 10th July 2010 the Rosetta spacecraft passed within 3160km of asteroid 21 Lutetia during which seven instruments attempted to detect an exosphere. A comparison of the sensitivity is made between the different instruments based on a simple spherical out-gassing point source model, which was used t...

Zusammenfassung:On 10th July 2010 the Rosetta spacecraft passed within 3160km of asteroid 21 Lutetia during which seven instruments attempted to detect an exosphere. A comparison of the sensitivity is made between the different instruments based on a simple spherical out-gassing point source model, which was used to infer that the Lutetia exosphere production rate was determined by MIRO to be
