Scientific paper

The plumes associated with Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 fragments H, Q1 and S impacting Jupiter have been observed in the infrared at 2.2 mum. Measurements were carried out in the standard K passband with a time resolution of 5 s. The results are plotted against time to provide a light curve for each of the impacts. A time evolution of the plume for each event is thus illustrated, yielding accurate information about the rise and fall of the plume, in addition to the timing of the peak. Our observations appear to support an explosive model for cometary ablation deep in the Jovian atmosphere.
