We report the detection of the nucleus of Comet 22P/Kopff with the Planetary Camera of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and with the Infrared Camera of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISOCAM). The HST observations were performed on 18 July 1996, 16 days after its perihelion passage of 2 July 1996, w

We calculate the position of dust trails from comet 8P/Tuttle, in an effort to explain unusual Ursid meteor shower outbursts that were seen when the comet was near aphelion. Comet 8P/Tuttle is a Halley-type comet in a 13.6-year orbit, passing just outside of Earth's orbit. We find that the meteoroid
A close examination of the \(0.7-\) to \(23-\mu \mathrm{m}\) infrared data base acquired by Gehrz and Ney (1992, Icarus 100, 162-186) suggests that the nucleus of Comet P/Halley 1986 III emitted a burst of small dust grains during a 3-day period commencing within hours of perihelion passage on 1986
The nucleus of Comet 9P/Tempel 1, the target of the Deep Impact mission, was detected during Hubble Space Telescope observations taken with the wide-field planetary camera 2 (WFPC2) on 31 December 1997 when the comet's solar phase angle was 3. โข 8, its heliocentric distance was 4.48 AU, and its geoc
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
