Scientific paper

Total magnitude measurements by a select group of CCD observers are used to obtain heliocentric light curves for a number of Jupiter Family Comets. Observations were made at over a half dozen telescopes in Arizona, Japan and Slovenia at various heliocentric distances. The light curves allow us to make estimates of a comet's nuclear size, activity "turn on" and "turn off" points, rates of dust production and phase angle function. Spacecraft targets such as 9P/Tempel 1, 19P/Borrelly and 81P/Wild 2 will be presented. This work has been supported by NASA Planetary Astronomy Program grant NAG5-4049
