Spectroscopy 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 کاملRadar 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 کاملAn Infrared Investigation of Volatiles in Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner
We obtained high resolution (λ/δλ∼ 10,000–20,000) infrared (IR) spectra of Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner (GZ) at five different wavelengths between 1.9 and 5.0 μm during 25–29 October 1998 using CSHELL at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea. We also obtained a moderate resolution (λ/δλ∼ 680) spectrum covering the wavelength range from 3.082 to 3.720 μm on 29 October 1998 using...
متن کاملIon Distribution Functions in the Vicinity of Comet Giacobini-zinner
Photoionization of neutral molecules in the coma surrounding a comet produces heavy ions which contaminate and mass-load the solar wind. Cometary ion distribution functions in the vicinity of comet Giacobini-Zinner (G/Z) are calculated using a Monte Carlo method. The distribution function calculated behind the shock has both cold (= 2 keV) and hot (-40 keV) components.
متن کاملHIGH RESOLUTION LASER SPECTROSCOPY IN COLD SUPERSONIC MOLECULAR BEAMS COOLING, REDUCTION OF DOPPLER WIDTH AND APPLICATION
The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...
