The inverse dust tail model (M. Fulle 1989, Astron. Astrophys. 217, 283-297) is applied to a dust tail image of short-period Comet 46P/Wirtanen obtained by K. Jockers et al. (1998, Astron. Astrophys. 335, L56-L59) to provide information on the dust environment which will be probed by the ESA Rosetta
Observations of sungrazing comets, all of which belong to the Kreutz family, provide the opportunity of studying the properties of dust in the comae and tails of the comets. On the basis of available information on cometary and interplanetary dust as well as observations of dust in the tails of sung
Spectrophotometric CCD (charge-coupled detector) observations of Comet Tabur (C/1996 Q1) allowed us to accomplish a detailed multi-color photometry of cometary continuum in the nearnucleus region and to obtain the change of spectral properties of the cometary dust with the distance from the nucleus.
