Comets: Rotation Periods

Scientific paper

By analyzing the near-nucleus structure of comet Hale-Bopp in CCD images, which were taken with a 1.56 m telescope and processed with the wavelet method, a direct and effective access has been provided for measuring the average rotation period of the comet. The most probable average period was found to be about 24.41±0.96 hours and this was projected on the observational plane. Furthermore, the radial distances between neighboring shells were measured and the radial velocity of shells has been found to be about 172 m/s.
