Abstract:Aims. We investigated Wosret, a region located on the small lobe of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet subject to strong heating during the perihelion passage. This region includes the two last landing sites of the Philae lander as well as, notably the final one, Abydos, where the lander performed most of its measurements. We study Wosret in order to constrain its compositional properties and its surface evolution. By comparing them with those of other regions, we aim to identify possible differences among th… Show more
