Scientific paper

Arecibo radar observations of Comet P/2005 JQ5 (Catalina) have produced the first delay-Doppler images of a comet nucleus and the first radar detection of large-grain ejection from a Jupiter-family comet. The nucleus is small (1.4 km diameter), rough, and rapidly rotating. The large (>cm) grains have low velocities (˜1 m/s) and a low production rate.
