Scientific paper

We propose to map the debris fields around 11 short-period comets, to search for meteor-sized particles and measure the mass of solid material ejected by comets. The observing program includes reobservations of the fields where large apparent debris fields (and possible multiple nuclei) of 3 comets were observed in GO1 during a survey of 30 comets. We will attempt to recover the nucleus of 104P/Kowal 2 and the debris field of 70P/Clark. We will map the 2007 apparition of comet 2P/Encke, and the 2006 close approach of comet 73P/SW3. And we will map 6 other comets making reasonable close approaches to Spitzer during the GO3 observing year.
