Top panel: comparison of the COPS NG data with our insolation driven and inhomogeneous outgassing models with an absorbing nucleus surface over the period from the 21.08. to 23.09.2014. Middle up panel: cometocentric distance and the phase angle of the observations shown on the same scale showing how the spacecraft approached the comet towards Zone D but at relatively high phase. Middle lower panel: sub spacecraft latitude (left axis) and longitude (right axis) showing how in Zone D the spacecraft was moving towards the northern pole which is located in the Hapi region. Bottom panel: sub spacecraft local time (SCLT) and the local time at the position of the zero longitude meridian (CLT) which runs through Imhotep.
