• Evidence for the formation of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through gravitational collapse of a bound clump of pebbles (2017, methodology): “We approximated the shape and orientation of 67P by a digital terrain model with 5000 facets (Jorda et al. 2016) and its real obliquity (Acton 1996) as well as by a 1000-facet sphere with an effective radius of 1.65 km and a rotation axis perpendicular to the orbital plane.”
• The primordial nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (2015, methodology): “The dimensions of the large lobe is 4.10 × 3.52 × 1.63 km and the small lobe measures 2.5×2.14×1.64 km (Jorda et al. 2016).”
