Classification of comet 67P dust at the nanometre scale with MIDAS on-board Rosetta

Résumé

The properties of the smallest sub-units of cometary dust contain information on their origin and clues to the formation of planetesimals and planets. The MIDAS Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) on-board the ESA Rosetta orbiter collected dust in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These particles, collected at low velocities, were analysed to measure the structural properties of minimally altered material with a known origin. This can be used to further the investigation of our early Solar System. A novel method is presented to achieve the highest spatial resolution of imaging possible with the MIDAS instrument. 3D topographic images with resolutions of down to 8 nm are analysed to determine the sub-unit sizes of particles on the nanometre scale.
