Scientific paper

The water production rates of comets 2P/Encke and 81P/Wild 2 during their 1997 apparitions have been estimated from Lyman-α observations of the SWAN instrument and compared to previously published values. 2P/Encke was detected 28 times from few days preperihelion to 1.4 AU postperihelion with a perihelion water production rate QH_2O of 2×1028 s-1. This is the first observation of perihelion QH_2O of comet Encke. 81P/Wild 2 was detected 56 times from 1.64 AU preperihelion to 1.74 AU postperihelion with a perihelion QH_2O of 1.3×1028 s-1.
