Detection And Characterisation Of Icy Cavities On The Nucleus Of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

We report on the detection of three icy cavities on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. They were identified on high-resolution anaglyphs built from images acquired by the OSIRIS instrument aboard […]
