Water production rate of comet C/2010 X1 Elenin ( preliminar analysis )



I have updated and analyzed the water production rate based in work of L.Jorda et al. " Correlation between water production rate and magnitudes visuals " ( 2008 ) , the preliminary results comet C/2010 X1 Elenin :

R = 2,5 u.a.--> log [ H2O ] < 50 kgrs./seg. < 10^27,2 mol.s-1

and estimated range of water production :

15 < log Q [ H2O] < 50 kgrs./seg. 10^26,7 mol.s-1 < log Q [ H2O] < 10^27,2 mol.s-1

NUCLEAR ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE vs NUCLEAR RADIO COMETS FOR 38

In the case of applying this equation to comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, a Nuclear Radius of 2.84 km is obtained, which corresponds to a core diamete...
