A Simulation of Shell Structures of Comet Hale-Bopp in February 1997
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present a simulation based on the morphology of the inner coma of comet Hale-Bopp(C/1995 O1) in February 1997. The synthetic images can fit the observations well, suggesting a simple spin mode. The rotation parameters, obliquity of orbital plane to equator and argument of subsolar meridian at perihelion, are 71 and 81 degrees respectively.
