• Elemental and molecular abundances in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (2019, background): “Le Roy et al. (2015) reported strong differences in the relative abundances with respect to water above the summer and winter hemispheres (reproduced in Table 2).”
• Origins of volatile elements (H, C, N, noble gases) on Earth and Mars in light of recent results from the ROSETTA cometary mission (2016, methodology): “The chemical and isotopic compositions of comets is constrained by (i) in-situ measurements by spacecrafts (e.g., A’Hearn et al., 2011; Le Roy et al., 2015; Jessberger et al., 1988; Kissel and Krueger, 1987), (ii) spectroscopic observations of comae (e.g., Bockelée-Morvan, 2011; Mumma and Charnley,…”
• Gas and grain chemical composition in cold cores as predicted by the Nautilus three-phase model (2016, methodology): “The ROSINA experiment on board ROSETTA spacecraft, has found that in the coma of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, MNRAS 000, 1–14 (2015) The Nautilus 3-phase model 9 HCN would be more abundant than NH3 (Le Roy et al. 2015) and would in fact be more abundant than N2 (Rubin et al. 2015).”
• Carbon-rich dust in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko measured by COSIMA/Rosetta (2017, background): “Considering the cometary volatile fraction, carbon-bearing compounds are observed by the ROSINA/Rosetta instrument at the level of a fraction of per cent in mass relative to water abundance (Le Roy et al. 2015), aside from CO2 and CO which are the most abundant compounds in the coma after H2O.”
• Sulphur-bearing species in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2016, methodology): “For a more detailed description, the authors refer to Le Roy et al. (2015).”
