Scientific paper

We observed NASA's EPOXI mission target, comet 103P/Hartley 2 for 20 nights between September and December, 2010, with the HB CN comet filter [1]. CN coma morphology revealed an excited nucleus with a changing rotation rate. The comet was also observed in the other HB gas and continuum filters, as well as in the broadband R filter. We will report and expand on our results just published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters [2].
