Fig. 1 Sample spectra of the 1(1,0) − 1(0,1) transitions of H216O and H218O lines at 556.939 GHz and 547.676 GHz, respectively, obtained with MIRO in nadir-viewing geometry. Sample spectra of the 1(1,0) − 1(0,1) transitions of H216O and H218O lines at 556.939 GHz and 547.676 GHz, respectively, obtained with MIRO in nadir-viewing geometry. All spectra seen to date are biased toward negative gas velocities (toward the spacecraft), which is interpreted as preferential outgassing from the day side of the nucleus. (A) Line observed in emission on 23 June 2014 UT when the Rosetta distance to the comet is Δ = 128,000 km, the heliocentric distance is rH = 3.84 AU, the spatial resolution is Ω = 260 km, and the phase (Sun-comet observer) angle is Φ = 32°. (B) (Inset plot) Lines observed in absorption against the nucleus subsurface thermal emission on 19 August 2014 UT (Δ = 81 km, rH = 3.5 AU, Φ = 37°, Ω = 160 m). The line intensity is expressed in the main-beam TB scale. The velocity scale is given relative to the nucleus velocity. The spectral resolution is 24 m s–1. The H216O spectrum of 23 June is consistent with an expansion velocity of 0.68 ± 0.02 km s–1. The optical thickness of the H216O line observed on 23 June is 0.3. On 19 August, the H216O line is optically thick near the line center (opacity > 10), whereas the H218O line is optically thin (opacity < 0.1). Samuel Gulkis et al.

Fig. 2 Variations of the total water production rate as the nucleus rotates. Variations of the total water production rate as the nucleus rotates. The rates shown above are based on MIRO H216O observations between 13 and 15 July 2014. Based on coarse maps, the pointing direction of the MIRO field of view was 300 arc sec southwest from the nucleus center at the time of the observations. In one nucleus rotation period (12.4 hours) (5), the water production rate exhibits two minima and two maxima. The rotation period of 67P (12.4 hours) is shown with a red bar. Early models to explain the variations are found in (7). Samuel Gulkis et al. Science 2015;347:aaa0709 Published by AAAS

Fig. 3 Water column density and expansion velocity measured by MIRO from 7.4 to 9.5 August 2014 UTC by using nadir H218O spectra. Water column density and expansion velocity measured by MIRO from 7.4 to 9.5 August 2014 UTC by using nadir H218O spectra. Significant spatial variability is seen, with maxima correlated with lines of sight near the neck region of the nucleus. (A) Column density (blue dots with error bars), nucleus thermal continuum temperatures (red curve), and cosine of the incidence angle in the center of MIRO beam (dotted black curve). Large drops in the smm continuum (red) temperature are observed when the MIRO line of sight crosses the limb. (B) Mean water expansion velocity given by the velocity at maximum absorption. (C) (Bottom) Illumination maps of the nucleus at the specified times The SHAP2 digital shape model provided by the OSIRIS team was used. The submillimeter MIRO beam position is shown by the red dot on the illumination maps. The x,y plane is perpendicular to the MIRO line of sight and contains the comet-Sun line. Samuel Gulkis et al.

Fig. 4 Illumination map of the digital shape model SHAP2 with contour plot of the MIRO submillimeter antenna temperature. Illumination map of the digital shape model SHAP2 with contour plot of the MIRO submillimeter antenna temperature. MIRO sees subsurface brightness features correlated with surface slopes, with regions facing the Sun generally brighter (warmer) than those tilted away from the Sun. This is an indication of rapid response to solar illumination and, hence, a low thermal inertia. Excellent overlap of the MIRO and shape model limbs is obtained on the Sun-lit (right) side of the nucleus. The left side of the nucleus is in polar night at this time, and the shape model—based on visible imaging—cannot determine its true shape here. The extension of the MIRO data beyond the limb on the night side indicates the true size of the nucleus in this region. The shape model is presented as an illumination map with the intensity given by the cosine of the solar illumination angle projected onto a plane perpendicular to the line joining the spacecraft to the barycenter of the comet.

Fig. 5 Brightness temperatures as a function of local solar time, from MIRO continuum measurements of September 2014, are shown for effective latitude bins of 20° to 30° N (black data points) and 20° to 30° S (red data points). Brightness temperatures as a function of local solar time, from MIRO continuum measurements of September 2014, are shown for effective latitude bins of 20° to 30° N (black data points) and 20° to 30° S (red data points). The solid curves are diurnal sinusoidal fits to the data. Both effective latitudes and the local solar time are computed from the shape model–derived surface orientation at the MIRO beam center. Only points for which the MIRO beams lie entirely within the nucleus are included. The data are restricted to the 100° to 200° longitude band in order to eliminate data in the neck region, where extreme shadowing conditions obscure the interpretation of the diurnal heating curve.
