摘要:

2007年8月,Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory 1.5米望远镜获得了2006 VZ 13(LINEAR)、2006 K4(NEAT)、2006 OF 2(Broughton)、2 P/Encke和93 P/Lovas I彗星的光谱数据。彗星2006 VZ 13是一颗新的奥尔特云彗星,它显示出CN的强谱线(3880埃),C_2的天鹅谱带序列(4740、5160和5630埃),C_3的天鹅谱带序列(4056埃)和其他微弱的物质。在其他彗星的光谱中也发现了谱线。记录了每颗彗星的CN、C_2(Delta v =+1,0)和C_3线的通量测量值,并导出了产生率和比率。当把彗星看作一个群体时,C_2和C_3的产生与CN有一定的相关性,但没有确凿的证据表明C_2和C_3的产生率比取决于日心距离。还测量了连续体,并计算了粉尘产生量和尘气比。有一个总的趋势,为集团的彗星,之间的尘埃与气体的比率和日心距离,但它不依赖于动力学的年龄或类。彗星2006 VZ 13被确定为贫碳(或坦普尔1型)彗星。

英文摘要:

Spectral data are presented for comets 2006 VZ13 (LINEAR), 2006 K4 (NEAT), 2006 OF2 (Broughton), 2P/Encke, and 93P/Lovas I, obtained with the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory 1.5-m telescope in August 2007. Comet 2006 VZ13 is a new Oort cloud comet and shows strong lines of CN (3880 angstroms), the Swan band sequence for C_2 (4740, 5160, and 5630 angstroms), C_3 (4056 angstroms), and other faint species. Lines are also identified in the spectra of the other comets. Flux measurements of the CN, C_2 (Delta v = +1,0), and C_3 lines are recorded for each comet and production rates and ratios are derived. When considering the comets as a group, there is a correlation of C_2 and C_3 production with CN, but there is no conclusive evidence that the production rate ratios depend on heliocentric distance. The continuum is also measured, and the dust production and dust-to-gas ratios are calculated. There is a general trend, for the group of comets, between the dust-to-gas ratio and heliocentric distance, but it does not depend on dynamical age or class. Comet 2006 VZ13 is determined to be in the carbon-depleted (or Tempel 1 type) class.
