Although we showed that differently directed magnetic field regions are transported toward comet 67P/CG, it cannot be claimed that nested draping is observed, as this can only be by

Surface pieces of evidence of the inner layering are constituted by both linear traces, which might be visible wherever the topography is cutting the layers at a high angle, and

If the suprathermal electron density decreased as the thermal electron density then the Lyman β brightness should vary as the square of the water column density and therefore as ∼1/p

In particular, if refined simulations of solar wind are used, we stress the need for simulation boxes much larger than the characteristic radius r E (to account for the caustic

The Imhotep region presents a wide variety of terrains and morphologies: smooth and rocky terrains, bright areas, linear features, roundish features, and boulders.. Gravity

This relationship had previously been observed with the IES-measured electron density in 2014 (Goldstein et al. That was thought to be the result of seeing the same source twice in

The properties expected for small collisional rubble piles should be compared to those of comet 67P; (1) a low bulk density ρ bulk = 535 ± 35 kg m −3 and high porosity of ∼70%;

The similarity between the RA theoretical distribution and the observationally derived RA pattern, understood as the prob- ability that both patterns belong to the same distribution
