Comet Austin (1984i)
Abstract
B. H. Foing, European Southern Observatory, reports: "We have observed comet 1984i on July 25.97 (0.50-m reflector and Stromgren photometer) and July 27.96 UT (1.5-m reflector and spectrograph covering the range 500-730 nm). We find a central diffuse condensation of FWHM 25" in the Stromgren channels. The C2 and NH2 spectral bands present a similar extension. No solar-antisolar asymmetry is apparent; integrated magnitude is equivalent to V = 6.3."
