Scientific paper

An edge-on view of the 22P/Kopff image showed that the nucleus was not on the locus of the maximum brightness of its dust cloud, which is likely to be a neck-line structure composed of large dust particles ejected 409 days before the observation. Assuming that the non-gravitational recoil force normal to the orbital plane generated a displacement of the nucleus, we demonstrate a modeled image similar to that of the observation. The obtained normal component of the non-gravitational acceleration is consistent with the predicted value extrapolated by data obtained during 1958--1983.
