Grains Around Comet 103P/Hartley 2 at the Time of the EPOXI Fly-By
Abstract
Images of the coma through continuum filters during EPOXI fly-by show that the comet's periodic activity is dominated by two active regions. They produce dust grains with a lifetime around 5 hours. The grains from one of these regions are very red.
