25.7 AU彗星活动:近日点11年后的海尔-波普
Cometary activity at 25.7 AU: Hale--Bopp 11 years after perihelion
摘要:
近日点11年后,C/1995 O 1(海尔-波普)彗星仍然活跃。在2007年10月20日至22日期间,我们探测到一个弥散性彗发,其大小为180 × 10 ^3 $km in diameter with a slight elongation toward N/S direction. The integrated brightness was 20.04 mag in R_C, implying Afρ=300 m and albedo x dust surface $ a_RC$=4300 km ^2。彗发在V-R=0.66等处相对呈红色,这与其他彗星的尘埃一致。在10天文单位和26天文单位之间观察到的性质和亮度的总体衰减遵循CO驱动活动的预测行为(Capria等人,2002年)。这是迄今为止观测到的最遥远的彗星活动。
英文摘要:
Eleven years after its perihelion, comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) is still active. Between October 20--22, 2007, we detected a diffuse coma of 180x10^3$km in diameter with a slight elongation toward N/S direction. The integrated brightness was 20.04 mag in R_C, implying Afρ=300 m and albedo x dust surface $a_RC$=4300 km^2. The coma was relatively red at V-R=0.66 mag, which is consistent with that of the dust in other comets. The observed properties and the overall fading in brightness between 10 AU and 26 AU follow the predicted behaviour of CO-driven activity (Capria et al. 2002). This is the most distant cometary activity ever observed.
