Synthetic phase dependences of comet polarization in broadband and narrowband comet filters
Abstract
The paper presents the results of constructing and analyzing synthetic phase dependences of the polarization of comets, based on the Polarimetric Comet Database [1] and observations made in 2018–2023 on the polarimeters of the 2.6-m telescope of the CrAO and the 2-m telescope of the Peak Observatory Terskol in broadband and narrowband comet filters. It is shown that the phase dependences of the degree of linear polarization are systematically different for short-period and long-period comets. This paper is based on a talk presented at VIII Bredikhin conference.
