Physics

Scientific paper

We present models that retrieve the dependence of cometary gas flux on direction. We determine the rotation rate of Comet 2P/Encke from observations of its CN coma. We determine the sense of rotation of Comet 2P/Encke from HCN spectra. We find evidence in Comet 2P/Encke for gas flow across its terminator. Comet 2P/Encke's outgassing before perihelion is likely to come from deeper layers.
