Physical and Surface Properties of Comet Nuclei from Remote Observations
Matthew M. Knight, Rosita Kokotanekova, Nalin H. Samarasinha
We summarize the collective knowledge of physical and surface properties of comet nuclei, focusing on those that are obtained from remote observations. We now have measurements or…
Component periods of non-principal-axis rotation and their manifestations in the lightcurves of asteroids and bare cometary nuclei
Nalin H. Samarasinha, Beatrice E. A. Mueller
Lightcurve observations of asteroids and bare cometary nuclei are the most widely used observational tool to derive the rotational parameters. Therefore, an in-depth understanding…
Image Enhancement Techniques for Quantitative Investigations of Morphological Features in Cometary Comae: A Comparative Study
Nalin Samarasinha, Stephen Larson
Many cometary coma features are only a few percent above the ambient coma (i.e., the background) and therefore coma enhancement techniques are needed to discern the morphological s…
