Mapping the Coma of Comet 103P/Hartley 2 with an Integral Field Spectrograph at McDonald Observatory
Abstract
We present Integral Field Spectra of comet 103P/Hartley 2 obtained at McDonald Observatory on 9 dates (July -- November 2010). We observed various molecular bands to form spatial gas maps. These maps were modeled with a modified Vectorial model.
