Due to its exceptional brightness, comet Hale-Bopp offered the possibility for unpreceeded long-term monitoring. Medium resolution long-slit spectroscopic date and images were obtained using the...

Neutral sodium from comet Hale-Bopp: a third type of tail (1997)

Cremonese, G., Boehnhardt, H., Crovisier, J., Fitzsimmons, A., Fulle, M., Licandro, J., ...

We report on the discovery and analysis of a striking neutral sodium gas tail associated with comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp. Sodium D-line emission has been observed at heliocentric distance r

Dust morphology of comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1): i. Pre-perihelion coma structures in 1996 (1997)

Boehnhardt, H., Birkle, K., Fiedler, A., Jorda, L., Peschke, S., Rauer, H., ...

In 1996 comet Hale-Bopp exhibited a porcupine-like coma with straight jets of dust emission from several ective regions on the nucleus. The multi-jet coma geometry developed during the first half of...

Boehnhardt, H., Birkle, K., Fiedler, A., Jorda, L., Peschke, S., Rauer, H., ...

In 1996 comet Hale–Bopp exhibited a porcupine-like coma with straight jets of dust emission from several active regions on the nucleus. The multi-jet coma geometry developed during the first half of...

Ion emission line profiles in cometary plasma tails (1997)

Rauer, H., Roesler, F., Scherb, F., Schmidt, H.U., Wegmann, R.

We present a first attempt to model the profile of ion emission lines in a cometary plasma tail with the aid of a 3D-MHD model of the comet-solar wind interaction, and to compare the calculated line...

Millimetric and optical observations of Chiron (1997)

Rauer, H., Biver, N., Crovisier, J., Bockelée-Morvan, D., Colom, P., Despois, D., ...

2060 Chiron has shown activity at heliocentric distances larger than 11 AU. To investigate the nature of the acitivity of this peculiar pbject, Chrion was observed during it approach to perihelion...
