Illumination maps of 67P: availability for the community
Abstract
We have produced illumination maps of the comet 67P and made them available to the community to support scientific analyses. It has been proved that the illumination is one of the main driver of the 67P's activity. In that sense, we have developed an efficient algorithm to determine the illumination of 67P from the 3D shape model and generated 37800 maps for different positions of the subsolar point in the cometocentric frame.
