Numerical simulations of the evolving activity of comet Hale-Bopp are presented, assuming a porous, spherical nucleus, 20
km in radius, made of dust and gas-laden amorphous ice. The main effects included are: crystallization of amorphous ice and
release of occluded gas, condensation, sublimation and flow of gases through the pores, changing pore sizes, and flow of dust
grains. The model parameters, such as initial pore size and porosity, emissivity, dust grain size, are varied in order to
match the observed activity. In all cases, a sharp rise in the activity of the nucleus occurs at a large heliocentric distance
pre-perihelion, marked by a few orders of magnitude increase in the CO and the CO2 fluxes and in the rate of dust emission. This is due to the onset of crystallization, advancing down to a few meters below
the surface, accompanied by release of the trapped gases. A period of sustained, but variable, activity ensues. The emission
of water molecules is found to surpass that of CO at a heliocentric distance of 3 AU. Thereafter the activity is largely determined
by the behaviour of the dust. If a dust mantle is allowed to build up, the water production rate does not increase dramatically
towards perihelion; if most of the dust is ejected, the surface activity increases rapidly, producing a very bright comet.

During the recent apparition of comet Hale—Bopp (1995 O1) near infrared photometric observations were carried out in the J,
H, K filter bands and also in the 3.0—3.4 μm region at the 1.2 m telescope at Gurushikkar, India. The effective temperature
of the comet was substantially higher than the equilibrium blackbody temperature. A mean superheat value of 1.83 was derived
in the post-perihelion phase which implies that a large fraction of the grain population are made up of small and hot grains
with radii <0.5 μm. High albedo values of ∼0.4 were also derived in the scattering angle range 135° to 160° which could explain
the unusual brightness of comet Hale—Bopp.

We present an analysis of OH, CN, and C2 jets observed in thecoma of Comet Hale–Bopp on UT April 22, 23, and 25, 1997. Monte Carlomodels designed to simulate the
gas jets were employed to analyze thenuclear active areas responsible for the observed coma gas jets. Ourresults indicate
that four active areas are necessary to reproduce theCN and C2 jets while five active areas are required to simulatethe OH jets. The additional OH active area must produce significantlevels
of OH, but cannot emit measurable quantities of either carbonradical. This difference suggests that the nucleus of Comet Hale–Boppis
chemically heterogeneous. 相似文献

Fabry-Pérot interferograms of comet Hale-Bopp were obtained on several nights in March and April 1997. For this purpose we
utilized the 2-channel focal reducer of the Max-Planck-Institute for Aeronomy at the 2-m telescope of the Pik Terskol Observatory.
Solid Fabry-Pérot etalons of resolving power 30000 were used in both channels of the focal reducer. The main aim of this study
is to measure the velocities and abundances of OH+ and H2O+, both ions closely related to the same parent molecule, H2O. In the blue channel interferograms we identified several individual OH+ rotational lines of the A3Πi - X3Σ− (0-0) transition and measured their Doppler shifts. The target emissions in the red channel were the H2O+ lines of the A2A1 − X2B1 (10-0) band. We found that the line of sight velocities, obtained from the Doppler shifted wavelengths of emissions in the
comet are higher in sunward direction than in the plasma tail and do not exceed 20 km s–1. The corresponding values, deprojected in antisolar direction, are consistent with predictions by magnetohydrodynamical models
of the solar-wind-comet interaction, when one accounts for the extremely high gas production rate of comet Hale-Bopp.

At the First International Conference on Comet Hale–Bopp(Canaries, 1998) many astronomers agreed with the value of theperiod
of axial rotation of its nucleus, which was obtained byobservers by a comparison of the two sequential patterns of thedust
arcs. It was noted that the pattern had been repeated each∼12 hours. The value 11.35h was taken as the periodof axial rotation. However, alternative periods of 4 and 8 days havealso been suggested. The possible
reasons for thisdiscrepancy are discussed. It is shown that a short period could be obtained by a misidentification of the
same arc on twosequential images and, as a result, an overestimate of theradial velocity of dust in the arcs. To obtain the
half day period one must take the projected velocity of the arc ∼ 1.6 km/s,which exceeds the H2O gas expansion velocity. If one takes a lower expansion velocity a longer period would be obtained. 相似文献

We report the observation of an outburst of comet Hale–Bopp (C/1995 O1) happened on September 10–11, 1996, carried by the
1.56 m telescope of Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. Two ejecta were found in CCD images during the outburst. According
to the positions of ejecta, we discuss the motion of the ejecta considering dust particles are subjected to the gravity and
the Solar radiation pressure, and conclude that the mean radii of dust grains in the ejecta were about submicron-sized. So
the observed X-ray emission are most likely produced by small size particles scattering the Solar X-ray.

The results of photographic observations of Comet Hale-Bopp made at Qingdao Station of Purple Mountain Observatory during the period from September to November of 1996 are given. It is shown that three events of outburst occurred on Sept. 24, Oct. 26 and Nov. 13, and a large jet appeared in the plate of Sept.23,1996. 相似文献
