Polarimetric studies of comet Halley
In the present work, the non-spherical grain characteristics of comet Halley are analysed using the T-matrix method at λ= 0.365,0.485 and 0.684μm respectively. In order to analyse the polarisation data of comet Halley, the dust size distribution function derived by Das et al. (2004) for comet Halley is used in the present work. The size range of the grains is taken to be 0.01μm≤ s ≤ 3μm. Using ...
متن کاملThe Distributed Co in Comet Halley
Examination of the spatial distribution of CO intensity of Comet Halley indicates that a large fraction of CO originates from the refractory organic component in the coma, rather than directly from the volatiles in the nucleus. Based on the fluffy aggregate interstellar dust comet model, we have estimated the upper limits of the total amount of CO provided by coma dust. The implications from th...
متن کاملPredictor-corrector Halley method for nonlinear equations
In this paper, we suggest and analyze a new two-step predictor–corrector type iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations of the type f(x) = 0 by using the technique of updating the solution. This method can be viewed as a predictor– corrector iterative Halley’s method. We also consider the convergence analysis of the proposed method. To illustrate the efficiency of this new method, we gi...
متن کاملResonant Behavior of Comet Halley and the Orionid Stream
Comet 1P/Halley has the unique distinction of having a very comprehensive set of observational records for almost every perihelion passage from 240 B.C. This has helped to constrain theoretical models pertaining to its orbital evolution. Many previous works have shown the active role of mean motion resonances in the evolution of various meteoroid streams. Here we look at how various resonances,...
متن کاملThe Discovery of Halley-sized Kuiper Belt Objects Using HST
We report the statistical detection (at the > 99% confidence level) of a population of 28th magnitude objects exhibiting proper motions of ≈1 arcsecond per hour at quadrature in deep HST/WFPC2 images. The drift directions imply a preponderance of objects on prograde orbits concentrated near the ecliptic plane. We interpret this as the detection of objects which reside in the Kuiper belt near or...
