Scientific paper

Infrared observations of the periodic comets Encke, Stephan-Oterma and Chernykh indicate that the dusty component in this class of comets is not radically different from the dusty component found in nonperiodic comets. The differences in the infrared behavior among these three comets suggest that a range of behaviors rather than a single behavior typifies the cometary activity. The range in albedo (0.02 to 0.10) of the dust calculated for the periodic comets is similar to the range in albedos seen among the asteroids.
