ASIACO: Asiago Spectroscopy and Imaging Atlas of COmets
P. Ochner, F. Manzini, V. Oldani +8
The ASIACO project is an atlas of cometary imaging and spectroscopy obtained from the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory between 2012 and 2024, still ongoing. Up to now, we monitored…
Comet 81/P Wild 2: changes in the spin axis orientation during the last five apparitions
V. Oldani, F. Manzini, P. Ochner +8
Comet 81P (Wild 2) is characterized by the presence of a prominent-fan shaped dust emission originating from an active source at high latitude on the nucleus, whose axis is assumed…
Radial Distribution of the Dust Comae of Comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková and 46P/Wirtanen
C. Lejoly, W. Harris, N. Samarasinha +21
There was an unprecedented opportunity to study the inner dust coma environment, where the dust and gas are not entirely decoupled, of comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková (45P/HMP)…
Coma morphology and dust emission pattern of comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
F. Manzini, V. Oldani, P. Ochner +4
The recent close approach of comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) allowed us to study the morphology of its inner coma. From the measurement of the dust ejection velocityon spiral structures…
Comet McNaught (260P/2012 K2): spin axis orientation and rotation period
Federico Manzini, Virginio Oldani, Roberto Crippa +5
Extensive observations of comet 260P (McNaught) were carried out between August 2012 and January 2013. The images obtained were used to analyze the inner coma morphology of the com…
Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2): morphological structures in the inner coma and rotation parameters
Federico Manzini, Raoul Behrend, Lorenzo Comolli +6
Extensive observations of comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz) were carried out between August 2004 and May 2005. The images obtained were used to investigate the comet's inner coma features…
