Finite lifetime fragment model for synchronic band formation in dust tails of Comets

Icarus, 1990
Abstract A finite lifetime fragment model is proposed for the formation of synchronic bands in dust tails of comets. Applying the simultaneous fragmentation model proposed by Sekanina and Farrell (1980) to three comets (Mrkos, Seki-Lines, West), we found the lifetime of the fragment to range from 25 to 70 days.

Dust tail observation and modeling of the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov

On 30 August 2019 the amateur Borisov discovered a new comet; after few days it was clear from the characteristics of its orbit (eccentricity > 3 and high hyperbolic excess velocity) that the second interstellar object had been detected and the object received the name of 2I/Borisov.

Indication for precession of comet Halley's nucleus from dust tail analysis

Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1990
The distinct structures ta comet Halley's dust tail around the beginning of March 1986 are analyzed by means of a computer simulation based on nucleus data obtained by the Giotto mission. It is shown that the assumption of a considerable free precession is required to understand the ground based dust tail observations from that time supposing a ...

Changing linear polarization properties in the dust tail of comet C/2012 S1 (ISON)

Icarus, 2020
Abstract Polarization measurements made with the STEREO/SECCHI COR1 and COR2 coronagraphs during the perihelion passage of sungrazing comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) in November 2013 are presented and compared with earlier measurements made of Kreutz sungrazing comet C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy).

A Browser Based Three Dimensional Simulator for Comet Dust Tail Modeling

Rapidly discovered comets are often known only from their orbital elements and a handful of early images, creating a need for tools that can interpret dust tail morphology quickly. This work presents a browser based, real time, three dimensional simulator of cometary dust tails.
