Outbursts from fractures H. Uwe Keller1,2 and Yuri Skorov3 1 IGEP Universität Braunschweig 2 DLR Planetenforschung 3 MPS

Original Submission submitted to A&A Feb. 4 2016

Triggered by OSIRIS Observations

Distribution and Suppression Referee/editor of A&A questioned the use of the illustrative PR images published on the ESA web site Rosetta PIs were consulted by the A&A editor Skorov’s manuscript was distributed within the OSIRIS lead scientists group! The distribution of a just submitted manuscript propagating a new idea within the science community is scandalous I am appalled by the OSIRIS “leadership” reaction. Is this in the interest of OSIRIS? Skorov was forced to resubmit w/o reference to OSIRIS

What about this publication? Two straight cracks, viewed from different angles, in the Hapi region9. Data are available at the European Space Agency (ESA) image browser (http://imagearchives.esac.esa.int), with identification numbers N20140808T062034578ID30F22 (a) and N20140826T074254573ID30F22 (b). Image credit: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA; original images processed by ESA/Rosetta/SGS/PSA&ESDC to create image for Archive Imager Browser.

Geological View Comparison to tension fractures as found on earth How deep are the fractures in Anuket? Fracture depth comparable to fracture spacing => Depth of Anuket fractures about 15 to 70 m Alternate approach: Griffith criterion: for σT = 3 to 15 Pa this yields depth between 100 – 500 m Fractures reach down into the “pristine” nucleus

Model The following key issues are addressed in our modeling: – Can super-volatiles exist as ice at these depths (50 to 100 m)? – Can the sudden dis-equilibration of the region which is rich in the super-volatiles produce reasonable amounts of dust and gas? – Can this activity be stopped after a short time?

Temperature inside Nucleus

Temperature as a function of cometary depth for the orbital position corresponding to early August, 2015. A slow rotator model is applied for the case Model C accounting for a surface erosion. The depth is measured from the surface position after ten orbital periods (showing result for the 5–10 orbit). The primordial temperature is fixed at 30 K and the thermal inertia is set to 30 J m−2 K−1 s0.5 (upper value from MIRO analysis.

Diffusivity is negligible for mm pores 0.5 g of CO per 1 m3 in equilibrium with CO ice (~ 5 kg) at T = 40 K Diffusivity is negligible for mm pores CO saturation vapor pressure (left y-axis scale, solid line) as a function of temperature. The corresponding mass loss rate is shown on the right–hand y-axis scale (dashed line).

Additional sublimation liberates 104 times more CO Additional sublimation liberates 104 times more CO. A few m2 are needed to release 1 kg CO. Cooling quenches sublimation.

Summary Attractive new features of the model that explains short outbursts: – independence of external heat flux induced by solar irradiation – natural self-induced quenching of the outburst activity after a short time – In addition, the model does not require presence of large isolated cavities in the nucleus – and/or crystallization of amorphous ice and trapped super volatiles release
