Comets: Individual: P/Swift-Tuttle

Scientific paper

We present continuum observations of comet P/Swift-Tuttle taken at 850 μm wavelength using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Near perihelion, it exhibited the largest submillimeter cross-section of any comet yet studied. We attribute the submillimeter emission to thermal radiation from large, near-nucleus particles destined to populate the Perseid meteor stream. The perihelion production of dust is estimated at 5×104 kg s-1, and the dust to gas production ratio at ˜2.8.
