Radar observations of Comet 2P/Encke during the 2003 apparition
The nucleus of Comet 2P/Encke was detected with the Arecibo radar during the close approach of November, 2003, making this the first comet to yield radar detections at two different apparitions. Although the measured radar cross section of 1.0 km2 was close to that obtained in 1980, the Doppler bandwidth was nearly four times larger. Most of this bandwidth difference can simply be attributed to...
متن کاملDust environment of Comet Hyakutake 1996B2
Narrow-band wide-field CCD images of the dust tail of Comet Hyakutake 1996B2 are analysed by means of the inverse dust tail model (Fulle 1989). The dust tail fits allow us to estimate the ejection velocity, mass loss rate and size distribution of the dust grains ejected during the months of March and April, 1996 (when the heliocentric distance was decreasing from 1.5 AU to 0.5 AU), in the size ...
متن کاملComet Dust from Airborne Leonid Storm Observations
For the past five years, rare Leonid meteor storms offered unique access to cometary dust by spectacular manifestations of recently ejected dust grains, which could be observed by exceptional meteor observing techniques. The final storms, those of November 19, 2002, measured the dust distribution in a comet dust trail far from the position of the comet itself. The measured spatial and particle ...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of 46 P / Wirtanen during its 1997 apparition
Comet 46P/Wirtanen was observed during five observing runs around its perihelion passage from 1997 January 28 to June 02. The spectra acquired extend from 5200 to 10000 Å at spectral resolutions of 12 Å and 18Å. A total of 16 spectral averages, each comprising about 40 minutes of integration time, were obtained. The production rate of H2O near perihelion averaged 2.7 × 1028 molecules/sec. The c...
متن کاملThe dust properties of a short period comet: comet P/Borrelly
We have calculated the thermal emission spectrum of the dust of comet P/Borrelly (1994l), a short-period comet (Jupiter family), from 3 μm to 14 μm as well as the 10 μm silicate feature in terms of the comet dust model as porous aggregates of interstellar grains. Compared to comet P/Halley dust, the dust grains of P/Borrelly appear to be relatively more processed (more carbonized), less fluffy,...
