The paper is about Comet 67P outbursts.
Comet 67P outbursts and quiescent coma at 1.3 AU from the Sun: dust properties from Rosetta/VIRTIS-H observations
The observation is

The albedos are from bright grains that can be silicatic or icy or both.
Quote:
In addition, the measured large bolometric albedos (∼0.7) indicate bright grains in the ejecta, which could either be silicatic grains, implying the thermal degradation of the carbonaceous material, or icy grains. The 3 μm absorption band from water ice is not detected in the spectra acquired during the outbursts, whereas signatures of organic compounds near 3.4 μm are observed in emission. The H2O 2.7 μm and CO2 4.3 μm vibrational bands do not show any enhancement during the outbursts.

So what's do YOU think is going on here Reality Check?

Because your wrong, again, here silicatic or icy or both

Can't be both and would have great difficulty silicatic or icy, if the icy part had no absorption band from water ice or indeed CO2.

Should be pretty obvious now that the (dust) is be ejected electrically!

So ANY paper that chooses to IGNORE the fact the dust is charged and coupled to the plasma that surrounds the nucleus, only has value in case the date roll runs out!


And even when it is included the assumptions are so simplified that there're pretty well worthless (1D, 1r etc) just like JD116 back of the napkin calculation.

Nothing he has cited states that the dust is ejected by delusions of electrical discharges on comets.
Nothing he has cited states that the dust is ejected by delusions of the Sun having a physically significant electric field.
Nothing he has cited even states that the dust has been found to be ejected by anything electrical.

Surface charging and electrostatic dust acceleration at the nucleus of comet 67P during periods of low activity


Quote:
Highlights



We model surface charging of the 67P nucleus during periods of low activity.


We include a treatment of the cometary plasma wake using a self-similar approach.


Criteria for electrostatic levitation and ejection of submicron grains are presented.


Charged nanodust flux detectable by the RPC–IES instrument on-board Rosetta.

Abstract

We have investigated through simulation the electrostatic charging of the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko during periods of weak outgassing activity. Specifically, we have modeled the surface potential and electric field at the surface of the nucleus during the initial Rosetta rendezvous at 3.5 AU and the release of the Philae lander at 3 AU. We have also investigated the possibility of dust acceleration and ejection above the nucleus due to electrostatic forces. Finally, we discuss these modeling results in the context of possible observations by instruments on both the Rosetta orbiter and the Philae lander.

SIMULATION OF THE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING OF PHILAE ON
67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO AND OF ITS INTERACTION WITH THE
DUSTS.

S. L. G. Hess1, P. Sarrailh1, J.-C. Mateo-Velez1, J. Forest2, B. Jeanty-Ruard2 and F. Cipriani3

Quote:
Abstract. ROSETTA's probe Philae landed on a dust covered soil. This dust may be ejected from the
ground through many mechanisms (other than spacecraft landing) : micro-meteorite impacts, electrostatic
charging and soil outgassing. In any cases, the dust grains charge electrostatically in the ambient plasma
and this charge impacts the dust interaction with the spacecraft, which is itself dierentially charged due to
its partial exposure to the solar UV light. Using the DUST addition to the Spacecraft-Plasma Interaction
Software (SPIS) routinely used to compute the charge state of the spacecraft surfaces, we simulate the
electrostatic charging of Philae as well as its dust environment. SPIS-DUST allows one to compute the
electrostatic charging of the dust grains on the ground and in the plasma, and to model their ejection and
their recollection by the probe. We simulated one cometary day of the Philae environment at dierent
distances from the sun to observe the variation of the dust collection with Philae's local time.


Why would those CRANKS say something so stupid Reality Check? [sarcasm] are they also a part of the the THUNDERBOLTS mob?[/sarcasm] just so RC doesent get all confused.

Quote:
It has been proposed that strong multipole electric fields may occur at sunlight-shadow boundaries due to high energy (~50 to 500 eV) photoelectrons emitted from sunlit areas subsequently striking adjacent shadowed regions (Criswell and De, 1977; De and Criswell, 1977). At centimeter-sized spatial scales, De and Criswell (1977) have shown that local electric fields in excess of 2ev/cm may be generated across adjacent sunlit and shadowed regions. Strong small-scale electric fields on the order of ~100 to 1000 V/cm could therefore exist in regions near the terminators and at local sunlit-shadow boundaries on planetary objects of low resistivity. In the case of a rotating body, Lee (1996) has shown that the terminator crossing time (and thus time available for charging) is a possible constraint for this process. However, for a relatively slowly rotating body like the 67P nucleus, with a rotational period of ~12 h, this does not preclude such levels of charging from occurring. Shadowing due to the topography of the 67P nucleus may therefore be associated with strong electric fields on the order of ~100–1000 V/cm over centimeter scales. Such locally enhanced electric fields may lead to increased rates of electrostatic dust ejection and possibly also to motion of charged grains across shadow boundaries due to strong local electric field gradients. While such illumination conditions are certainly present near the terminators, imaging of the 67P nucleus has revealed an object with rugged small-scale topography (Thomas et al., 2015). Thus, we may also expect to see similarly enhanced local small scale electric fields due to shadowing from boulders, escarpments and crater rims.
Quote:
Here we assume that the acceleration due to gas drag on the nanograin particles is negligible compared to that of electrostatic forces, and thus the kinetic energy of the charged nanograins should reflect the surface potential at the region of the nucleus from which they are emitted (e.g. Szego et al., 2014).
Surface charging and electrostatic dust acceleration at the nucleus of comet 67P during periods of low activity

Mmmmmmmm.....Where do we see the "jets" mainly?

The dust being dragged out by gas drag is negligible??

Well according Yu. V. Skorov1, L. Rezac1, P. Hartogh1 and H. U. Keller2, it's a complete non starter!

Quote:
Conclusions. In the framework of the presented model, which can be considered common in terms of assumptions and physical parameters in the cometary community, the dust removal by a gas drag force is not a plausible physical mechanism. The sublimation of not only water ice, but also of super-volatile ice (i.e., CO) is unable to remove dust grains for illumination conditions corresponding to 1.3 AU. A way out of this impasse requires revision of the most common model assumption employed by the cometary community.

Evidence of Electrical Activity on Comet 67P: Towards an Electrochemical Framework for Cometary Phenomena

Quote:
It is clear that the correlation of relative abundances between O2 and H2O indicates a single origin and release mechanism. The question is: which mechanism? I propose a mechanism that allows for the simultaneous formation of O2 and H2O, where the driving force is a voltage differential, such as an electrochemical method. There is plenty of evidence of the presence of filamentary electric fields accelerating electrons and ions in the vicinity of the nucleus, leading to charge separation, as has been demonstrated throughout these episodes. I called this mechanism:

O2 and H2O formation by electrochemical means – In this method, O2, O2-, OH, -OH, and other chemical species are released into the coma by various mechanisms, such as “electron-stripping,” solar wind sputtering, and solar heating. In this context, O2 can absorb a negative charged through charge exchange due to demonstrated high electron densities in the vicinity of the nucleus, followed up by protonation via the solar wind. Subsequently, water can then be formed via at least two pathways linking O2 and H2O formation:

(1) O2 + H → H2O
(2) O2- + H+ → H2O

In this theoretical framework whereby the driving force is a voltage differential in the vicinity of the nucleus, the instantaneous O2 formation reaction that was deemed unfeasible becomes feasible when looked at from an electrochemical perspective as the reaction can occur directly via gas phase collisions or be mediated via silicate catalysis on nanograin surfaces. In a general perspective, a voltage-driven chemical reaction mechanism looks promising as it can explain the formation of complex chemical species, such as water, alcohols, sugar, [14] cyanide polymeric chains, amino acids, and others, with satisfaction without the thermodynamic constraint of low temperatures-driven collisions.

Seems there may be enough grunt to do the "work" required.


Coincidental that jets are seen to occur in the boundary between lit areas and shadowed areas? or linked?

Not coincidental that this is more les:
14 September 2017 Sol88: A lie about his comet delusions which do not include jets happen in the "boundary between lit areas and shadowed areas".
His cometary jets delusion is that jets are electrical discharges between the comet and the Sun. That means jets can only happen on high points of the lit areas.

14 September 2017 Sol88: A lie because he knows that the actual location of jets is part of what makes his comet ideas into delusions.
Jets issue from the neck of 67P which is the lowest part of the comet.
Jets issue from inside pits.
Jets issue from fissured cliff faces.
Jets issue from the back, dark side of 67P which is the furthest part of the comet from the Sun.

14 September 2017 Sol88: A lie because the ignorant and deluded page he cites is not about comet jets.

14 September 2017 Sol88: Maybe a lie because he does not cite any observations of jets "seen to occur in the boundary between lit areas and shadowed areas".

The grunt is on Thunderdolts, as the obviously have not understood Ingo's paper. This comment:

In other words, the electric fields control cometary ion motion but in a different way from the known mass loading action.
makes no sense, as the mass loading IS happening exactly as in the "known mass loading action", but the gyro radius of the new ions is so large that in the neighbourhood of the comet the ions can be assumed to travel in a straight line, the same way you don't take into account the curvature of the Earth when you are working in your garden.

And electric fields, that is, the motional or convective electric fields, created by the moving magnetic field of the solar wind still work the same as they used to in the pick-up and mass-loading process.

No use to read any further.

Any movement on your tail excursion paper?

Keen as to read it.

Tom's simulations and estimates by others seem to indicate the possibility of such fields here.

Whether or not they actually occur on the surface of 67P is another question.

Devils advocate,

Say they do happen (small scale strong electric fields) what then for the interpretation of what dust 'jets' are and how they operate?

I.e is gas drag necessary?

no, because it is observed that the dust is accelerated over 30 km, so strong fields over cms near the surface cannot lead to the observations

Well there seems to be strong evidence of those same fields accelerating electrons to high energies...

Quote:
Which processes account for the density (and ux) enhancements that IES observes are not obvious, but may involve the ambipolar electric eld and/or a local compression in the ow. The ambipolar electric eld is proportional to the electron pressure gradient and is required to maintain quasi-neutrality with signicant ion densities being produced by photoionization (e.g. Cravens, in prep.). Any mechanism (e.g., electrostatic elds) must have some degree of structure to account for the large variations in the energies and uxes seen on short time-scales. The observed VDFs show no evidence of a clear peak (a maximum with positive and negative slopes on either side) in phase space, either. This typically is a distribution that has a at top or broad shoulder and rolls off with increasing energy. If a well-structured electric eld were present, then a well-dened peak would be expected. Again, this points to ne structure in the plasma environment. It might likewise be important that comet 67P is dominated by kinetic processes.

And that same plasma is coupled to the rest by, as you said,

Pretty much the ELECTRIC COMET right there, it's got it all!

Maybe not but the fields are strong enough to get the process started!

And so there must be a large scale electric field as well , no?

What could it lead to?

The paper seems pretty clear.

To finish, without writing 5000 words, the electric comet woo has been shown to be total woo, as expected, by numerous missions to comets, as well as distant observations of such. It is nonsense. It is cretinous nonsense, in fact. It has ceased to be. It is an ex-idiotic idea. It has gone to meet the choir invisible. It is an ex idea.

Seems you're wrong, again, according to the mainstream 'experts'!

The 'dirtysnowball' is dead and it's time for a new model
Quote:
11 CONCLUSIONS The classical model of comets as dirty ice balls (Whipple 1950)has focused most models of comets on ices. The more we visit comets, the dustier they appear. With 67P’s dust-to-water ratio of 6 (and possibly larger), it is now necessary to spend much more time in modelling the non-volatile matrices with a modest content of ices inside.

What will it be JD116?

Whipple never saw a comet up close in the 50s of the last century.
Ofcourse, after the first picture of a cometary nucleus, it became clear that Whipple's model needed to be modified, and with every successful mission to comets we learn more, which is exactly what Fulle et al. are writing.

It is just YOU who is keeping on insisting that the mainstream model is Whipples dirty snowball. Yes, it keeps on being used in popular literature, it is hard to get rid of terms that have taken foothold but don't describe reality, just think about the term "big bang" which was used to ridicule the theory.

but it's the only model available to the mainstream! And it's wrong. Trying to fit the data to that model (the dirty Snowball) has led to some pretty wild claims!

So where does that leave us?

The larger the dust-to-water ratio, the larger the porosity required to fit the observed nucleus bulk density. The RSI (Pätzold et al. 2016) and the CONSERT (Kofman et al. 2015) experiments exclude macro-porosity at scales above 100 m. CONSERT experiment provides a micro-porosity between 75 per cent and 85 per cent (Kofman et al. 2015). Hapke models provide a surface porosity of 87 per cent (Fornasier et al. 2015)
There's the mainstreams BIGGEST Problem!

Not just me 'Ol mate, most of your peers as well.

e.g
Quote:
Comets are primitive objects with a composition that has barely changed in 4.6Gyr. As such, they likely hold important clues on the youth and evolution of the solar system.
Quote:
Comets are among the oldest objects in our Solar system, and represent the remnant materials from which all the outer planets and moons were constructed. Analysing cometary materials in situ can reveal some of these events by constraining the origin of the solid protoplanetary materials and the processes by which all larger bodies grew.
All stated as FACT!

When in reality the mainstream had no idea

ONLY IN YOUR MIND!

Read up on some real papers, don't be stuck in the 1950s

His most compelling arguments are composed of emoticons and he pushes a scientific view that, if correct, would mean > 90% of our electronic equipment would be unable to function. Using electronic equipment.

I'd say that answers that question right there.
