You ferd
and RC can rant against the findings all you want but the evidence is there
No, it isn't. Firstly, explain why this ludicrous idea of Anariba's doesn't happen to asteroids? Why only comets? According to EU comets are just asteroids on elliptical orbits! So let's take 4179 Toutatis for example (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4179_Toutatis). Why isn't the same process at work there, and on many other asteroids with highly elliptical orbits?
Secondly, explain how it is happening when the solar wind isn't even interacting with the surface at the time of highest activity? Diamagnetic cavity, no SW reaching the comet. As seen at Halley 30 years ago, and as seen at 67P. Only ions and neutrals of cometary origin seen at Halley within ~4500 km. Still outgassing though.
As if we actually need any more evidence to show this nonsense up for what it is, you can also look at the data on the sputtering caused by the solar wind at 67P back in October 2014, whilst ~3 AU from the Sun:

Now, according to this Anariba eejit, the SW should be reaching the surface to cause the observed outgassing of H2O (among others). It is also the SW that causes the sputtering. Therefore one should expect to see the dust being sputtered uniformly. The SW is striking all parts of the sunlit portion of 67P. Yet we only see sputtering where there is low to zero H2O sublimation. Why? Because the SW isn't reaching the surface where sublimation is highest. And where it does reach the surface to cause the observed sputtering, it isn't magically creating H2O. The sputtering and H2O are anti-correlated.
In addition, if this nonsense were actually true, how is the SW managing not to turn the surface dust into ice, but magically creating it quite a number of centimeters below the surface? Protons are not going to implant themselves that far into the dust!
So tell us again; how is the SW turning dust into solid ice at depth? Some chemical formulae would be good, along with estimates of the proton flux per second need to generate >100 l/s of H2O at 67P. Or 200 000 l/s at Hale-Bopp. And an explanation of how this flux of protons is continually evading detection by Rosetta.
I assume Anariba has done all these calculations, so you can just copy/paste it here.
