The Deep Impact oblique impact cratering experiment (2007, background): “It is based in part on the general geologic map of the comet as described by Thomas et al. (2007).”
The primordial nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (2015, background): “Extensive layering is also evident on 9P/Tempel 1 (Thomas et al. 2007) according to Deep Impact images.”
A ballistics analysis of the Deep Impact ejecta plume: Determining Comet Tempel 1's gravity, mass, and density (2007, methodology): “When coupled with a shape model for Comet Tempel 1 (Thomas et al., 2007), a reasonable gravity estimate for Tempel 1 also permits an estimate of the comet's mass and bulk density.”
Report of the IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements: 2009 (2011, background): “(2010) (k) Since only rotation rate information is available, the 0◦ meridian is currently arbitrarily defined with W0 = 0◦ (l) The 0◦ meridian is defined as the mean sub-Charon meridian (m) The 0◦ meridian is defined as the mean sub-Pluto meridian (n) The 0◦ meridian is defined by a 350 m diameter ”
