Scientific paper

A number of rotation states have been proposed for EPOXI mission target comet 103P/Hartley 2. While the EPOXI flyby provides the precise shape and orientation of the comet at a specific time, radar observations of the comet from Arecibo Observatory over a timebase of one week provide more rotational information. We will combine the EPOXI shape model with radar images to constrain the viable rotation states, exploring both simple and complex rotation.
