Long-Period Comets, C/1996 B2 Hyakutake, Non-Gravitational Effects

Scientific paper

The effect of the non-gravitational forces on the orbit of C/1996 B2 Hayakutake is investigated using the positional data between 1996 Jan. 01 and Nov. 02. In spite of a short arc of observations this effect is clearly detectable owing to small perihelion distance. To model the non-gravitational acceleration the standard function g(r) as well as the observed light curve interpreted as a result of a water sublimation rate were adopted. The ratio of the observed rotational period and nucleus radius has allowed to constrain a net of forced precession models of the comet nucleus. The profile of the comet activity as a function of the heliocentric distance is discussed. The present solutions have been compared with non-gravitational models of the comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp.
