Comet 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 ...

Doppler Observations of the Impact of Comet S 1 . 9 Fragment A

In this paper we present an attempt to detect Doppler effect on Jupiter during the impact of the fragment A of the comet, Shoemaker-Levy 9. We give a short description of the technique used to observe the impact, then present the observations and finally a theoretical analysis and interpretation. The instrumentation used is an advanced and more sensitive version of the Magneto-Optical Filter (n...
