On March 31 and April 1, 1997, simultaneous photometry and polarimetry of comet Hale-Bopp's dust was conducted with the two-channel
focal reducer of the Max-Planck-Institute for Aeronomy attached to the 2 m telescope of Pik Terskol Observatory (Northern
Caucasus). Interference filters at642 nm and 443 nm selected red and blue narrow-band continuum windows. The observations
have been averaged over the one hour of timethe comet could be observed. The polarization maps cover an area of about1 arcmin2 around the nucleus. The values of polarization degree measured close to the nucleus agree very well with observations obtained
with aperture polarimetry. They are lower than in the surrounding coma by about 1%. In our field of view the polarization
increases along the sun-comet line from the solar to the antisolar side by about 3%. The dust shells are visible in the polarization
images. The polarization in the shells is higher by 1 to 2%and this increase is higher in the red than in the blue range.
Therefore the ratio of red to blue polarization (≈ 1.2) increases in the shells by ≈ 0.03. In principle, the polarization
excess in the shells, the ratio of red/blue polarization and the higher integrated polarization as compared to other comets
can be explained by an excess of particles of radius of about 0.1 μm. Such particles, however, are subject to strong radiation
pressure and will be pushed back into the tail before they reach the observed location of the shells. Real Rayleigh particles
cannot explain the observed increase in the ratio of red/blue polarization. One therefore cannot exclude the possibility that
the excess polarization in the shells is caused by fluffy aggregates via effects which are presently not well understood.
The colour map shows features not well related to intensity and polarization, perhaps another dust shell of a different particle
size.

Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) was observed with camiras, the Saclay mid-infrared camera, mounted on the Nordic Optical Telescope
(Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma), from April 14th to April 25th, 1997. This observing run was part of the European campaign
devoted to Hale-Bopp observations from the Canary Islands (PI R. West). camiras spectro-imaging capabilities, achieved with
a Circular Variable Filter (of spectral resolution R ≈ 50), were used to obtain spectra of the comet in the N atmospheric
window (8–13 μm) over a large field of view (52″ × 78″), at a spatial resolution of ∼1 arcsec. Data were also collected at
shorter wavelengths (in the L and M bands). The silicate dust feature around 10 μm is clearly apparent in the data. The shape
of the feature varies continuously according to the position in the field. A dust model developed at Saclay in the framework
of β-Pictoris dust disk studies was used to interpret the observations. The presence of both olivine and pyroxene with a high
degree of crystallinity is needed to account for the observations. A change in the size distribution of the grains allows
to reproduce the spatial change of the silicate feature according to the position in the field.

An observation program for measuring the activity of Comet Hale-Bopp was conducted at the Observatoire de Haute Provence from
August 1996 to April 1997. Narrow band images were obtained from the 120 cm telescope. A set of four filters at 513, 516,
527 and 682 nm was used to measure the C2 emission in the (1,1) and (0,0) band and the intensity of the dust-scattered continuum. The luminosity of the central part
of the coma was measured in the continuum and C2 emissions, as a function of heliocentric distance before perihelion. The activity of the comet considerably increased between
October 1996 and February 1997. The images obtained in August, September and October 1996 show the presence of strong jets.
In February, March and April 1997, series of roughly concentric arcs were observed in the sunward hemisphere of the coma.
The arcs were also detected in the spatial distribution of the I(682 nm)/I(527 nm) red color ratio and the I(513 nm)/I(516
nm) C2 emission ratio. Using the I(513 nm)/I(516 nm) ratio as a parameter to measure the degree of excitation of C2 molecules, we can show that the local production of gas, probably resulting from dust fragmentation, should be taken into
account.

Comet Hale-Bopp has been observed five times with ISOPHOT, the photometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), four
times before its perihelion passage at heliocentric distances of 4.92, 4.58, 2.93 and 2.81 AU, and at 3.91 AU postperihelion.
Each time, multi-filter photometry covering the range between 3.6–175 μm with eight to ten filters was performed to sample
the spectral energy distribution of the comet. These measurements were used to determine dust temperatures for the cometary
coma. The evolution of the strength of the silicate feature can be followed in the data as well as the flux deficit at longer
wavelengths.

Near-infrared photometric and polarimetric observations of comet Hale-Bopp (1995 O1) using KONIC (Kiso Observatory Near-Infrared
Camera) are reported. Observations were carried out on March 18 UT and April 26 UT 1997, when the heliocentric distances of
the comet were 0.94 and 1.02 AU, and the phase angles were 48.5 deg and 32.9 deg, respectively. In the J, H, and K′ bands,
we obtained linear polarization of the near-nucleus region of 16.4 ± 1.2, 18.8 ± 1.3, and 15.1 ± 0.9 percent on March 18UT
and 7.1 ± 1.1, 8.9 ± 1.0, and 6.9 ± 0.6 percent on April 26, respectively. These values were higher than those observed for
1P/Halley. The maximum polarization was found at H band on both dates. Polarization maps showed higher polarization regions
toward the anti-solar direction in the J and H bands. No distinct correlation was found between high polarization regions
and bright regions. The projected expansion velocity of the arc structure of the dust jet was 375 ± 35.7 m/s on 17–19 March.
The periodicity was found to be 11.1 ± 2.8 hours.

We present 10 and 20 μm spectra of comet Hale-Bopp taken at UKIRT on 1996 June 20 and 1996 September 29.The 10 μm spectra
clearly show a strong silicate feature with peaks at 10.0 and 11.2 μm. The 20 μm spectrum on September 29 has strong excess
flux relative to a blackbody and a peak near 19μm, in good agreement with the ISO SWS spectra obtained a week later. However,
the 20 μm spectrum on June 20 has significantly lower flux than would be expected based on a blackbody extrapolation from
the flux at 12.5 μm.

The NASA Ames HIFOGS spectrometer observed comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) at epochs including 96 Oct 7–14 UT (2.8 AU), 97 Feb
14–15 UT (1.2 AU), 97 Apr 11 UT (0.93 AU), and 97 Jun 22, 25 UT (1.7 AU). The HIFOGS 7.5–13.5 μm spectrophotometry (R = 360
- 180) of the silicate feature at 2.8 AU is identical in shape to the ISO SWS spectra of comet Hale-Bopp (Crovisier et al.,
1997); the strong 11.2 μm peak in the structured silicate feature is identified as olivine. Upon close passage to the sun,
the HIFOGS spectra at 1.2 AU and 0.93 AU reveals strong peaks at 9.3 μm and 10.0 μm. The post-perihelion 10 μm silicate feature
at 1.7 AU is weaker but has nearly the same shape as the pre-perihelion spectra at 1.2 AU, reverting to its pre-perihelion
shape: there is no change in the dust chemistry by close passage to the sun. The appearance of the strong peaks at 9.3 μm
and 10.0 μm at rh ≲ 1.7 AU is attributed to the rise in the contribution of pryoxenes (clino-pyroxene and orthopyroxene crystals) to the shape
of the feature, and leads to the hypothesis that the pyroxenes are significantly cooler than the olivines. The pyroxenes are
radiating on the Wien side of the blackbody at 2.8 AU and transition to the Rayleigh-Jeans tail of the blackbody upon closer
approach to the Sun. Composite fits to the observed 10 μm silicate features using IDPs and laboratory minerals shows that
a good empirical fit to the spectra is obtained when the pryoxenes are about 150 K cooler than the olivines. The pyroxenes,
because they are cooler and contribute signficantly at perihelion, are more abundant than the olivines. The perihelion temperature
of the pyroxenes implies that the pyroxenes are more Mg-rich than the other minerals including the olivines, amorphous olivines,
and amorphous pyroxenes. The PUMA-1 flyby measurements of comet P/Halley also indicated an overabundance of Mg-rich pryoxenes
compared to olivines. Comet Hale-Bopp's pyroxenes are similar to pyroxere IDPs from the ’Spray‘ class, known for their D-richness
and their unaltered morphologies: Hale-Bopp's Mg-rich pyroxenes may be pristine relic ISM grains.

We present results of polarimetric and photometric observations of bright comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) obtained at the 0.7
m telescope of Kharkov University Observatory from June 18, 1996 to April 24, 1997. The IHW and HB comet filters were used.
The C2 and C3 production rates for Hale-Bopp are more than one order of magnitude larger and the dust production rates are more than two
orders of magnitude larger than the Halley ones at comparable distances. Hence, Hale-Bopp was one of the most dusty comets.
The average UC-BC and BC-RC colours of the dust were −0.02 and 0.13 mag, respectively. The polarization of comet Hale-Bopp
at small phase angles of 4.8–13.0° was in good agreement with the date for comet P1/Halley at the same phase angles in spite
of the fact that the heliocentric distances of comments differed nearly twice. However, at intermediate phase angles of 34–49°
the polarization of comet Hale-Bopp was significantly larger than the polarization of the other dusty comets. It is the first
case of such a large difference found in the continuum polarization of comets. The wavelength dependence of polarization for
Hale-Bopp was steeper than for other dusty comets. The observed degree of polarization for the anti-sunward side of the coma
was permanently higher than that for the sunward shell side. The polarization phase dependence of Hale-Bopp is discussed and
compared with the polarization curves for other dusty comets. The peculiar polarimetric properties of comet Hale-Bopp are
most likely caused by an over-abundance of small or/and absorbing dust particles in the coma.

We present infrared imaging and photometry of the bright, giant comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp). The comet was observed in an
extended infrared and optical observing campaign in 1996–1997. The infrared morphology of the comet was observed to change
from the 6 to 8 jet “porcupine” structure in 1996 to the “pinwheel” structure seen in 1997; this has implications for the
position of the rotational angular momentum vector. Long term light curves taken at 11.3 μm indicate a dust production rate
that varies with heliocentric distance as ∶ r−1.4. Short term light curves taken at perihelion indicate a rotational periodicity of 11.3 hours and a projected dust outflow
speed of ∶ 0.4 km s−1. The spectral energy distribution of the dust on October 31, 1996 is well modeled by a mixture of 70% silicaceous and 30%
carbonaceous non-porous grains, with a small particle dominated size distribution like that seen for comet P/Halley (McDonnell
et al., 1991), an overall dust production rate of 2 × 105 kg s−1, a dust-to-gas ratio of ∶5, and an albedo of 39%.

During our monitoring observations of comet Hale-Bopp, we found several sporadic ejections of dust from the nucleus. The most
prominent ejection was observed on May 6–9, 1997, in the post-perihelion phase of the apparition. In this paper, we report
preliminary analysis of this event, in which the total mass of the dust cloud is estimated to be 1.6 × 1011 g.

We present a comparison between images of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) obtained from 12 March to 9 May 1997, with two telescopes
of the Observatorio del Teide (IAC, Tenerife, Spain) in visible (Johnson-V filter) and three near-infrared narrowband filters
(Brγ (2.166 μm), CO (2.295 μm), and Kcon (2.260 μm)). No significant differences are observed between the images in the three near-infrared bands suggesting that
any CO emission is very weak, or produced by an extended flat source. We do not find evidence for the existence of an additional
infrared component due to emission by warm dust, or to dust grains of diverse composition and/or size. Visible and infrared
images of the same rotational phase look almost identical, supporting the view that the observed jets and shells are mainly
dust structures.

In 1996 comet Hale-Bopp exhibited a porcupine-like coma with straight jets of dust emission from several active regions on
the nucleus. The multi-jet coma geometry developed during the first half of 1996. While the jet orientation remained almost
constant over months, the relative intensity of the jets changed with time. By using the embedded fan model of Sekanina and
Boehnhardt (1997a) the jet pattern of comet Hale-Bopp in 1996 can be interpreted as boundaries of dust emission cones (fans)
from four — possibly five — active regions on the nucleus (for a numerical modelling see part II of the paper by Sekanina
and Boehnhardt, 1997b).

A Monte Carlo image simulation code for dust features in comets is applied to comet Hale-Bopp in order to model the object's
persistent porcupine-like appearance on high-resolution images taken between May 11 and Nov. 2, 1996. A self-consistent fan
model is proposed, with six isolated sources of dust emission assumed at various locations on the surface of the rotating
nucleus and with the spin axis undergoing a complex motion in an inertial coordinate system. In the framework of this model,
jet pairs represent boundaries of fan-shaped formations described by dust ejected from isolated sources during periods of
time when the Sun is above the local horizon. The spin axis is found to have traveled through a field of 10° by 20° during
the examined period of nearly six months. Still more successful is a fan model with large diurnal dust-emission fluctuations,
which is consistent with an inertially fixed position of the spin axis and requires only three discrete sources. In this scenario,
the dust-emission profile is dominated by several brief flare-ups, or “puffs”, in the production of dust from one of the sources.
The results are insensitive to the spin rate, but the observed dust coma appearance is more typical of a rapidly rotating
comet.

Polarimetric observations of the light scattered by dust have been carried out at Pic-du-Midi Observatory with the 2 m telescope
in June and September–October 1996, and at Haute-Provence Observatory with the 0.80 m telescope in April 1997. They cover
a total number of 11 nights and a large (6.9°–47.7°) phase angle range. The spatial resolution allows to underline structures
in the coma, as well in the brightness images as in the polarization maps, with a correlation between the regions of bright
structures and the regions of higher polarization. A clear difference appears between the sunward and antisunward side, with
higher polarization on the antisunward side. The phase angle coverage allows us to obtain a polarimetric phase curve for the
whole coma and to compare it with other cometary phase curves. The degree of polarization is higher for Hale-Bopp than for
the comets previously observed.

Dust continuum imaging of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) was carried out with the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope (SVST)on La
Palma in April, 1997. Images were reduced according to standard procedure, aligned, averaged, navigated and enhanced with
azimuthal renormalization, rotational derivative, temporal derivative and unsharp masking processing.
The rotational period of the nucleus was determined to 11.5 h and the mean projected dust outflow velocity to 0.41 km s−1. Shell envelopes in the sunward side of the coma were separated by a projected distance of ∼15 000–20 000 km and spiralling
inwards towards smaller radii in the direction of local evening. Small scale inhomogeneities of size 1 000–2 000 km, interpreted
as correlated with variations in dust emission activity, were seen at radii ≤20 000 km. Two overlapping shell systems with
a relative lag angle of ∼55° were evident at the time.
The north pole of the nucleus was directed towards the Earth. The dust emission pattern is very complex and may be due to
several active areas. The shape of the incomplete spiral shell pattern indicates that the angle between the line-of-sight
and the rotational axis of the nucleus was not large.

The Sekanina-Farrell particle fragmentation model for the striated tails of dust comets is successfully applied to two images
of comet Hale-Bopp to study the motions of 12 striae in a time span of March 12–15, 1997. There is evidence for recurring
outbursts with a periodicity of 11h21m, consistent with results based on analysis of dust jets. The ejecta in all the striae appear to have been released from one
source on the nucleus between the end of January and the second half of February 1997, some 60 to 40 days before perihelion.
The parent particles were subjected to a radiation pressure acceleration of βp ≃ 0.55 and their fragmentation lifetimes in 11 of the 12 striae were practically constant and equal to 13–15 days, when normalized
to 1 AU from the Sun. Brief analysis of Watanabe et al.'s measurements of striae on their images from March 5–9, 1997 shows
even shorter fragmentation lifetimes for the parent particles, mostly about 7–11 days at1 AU.

We present 1- to 5-μm broadband and CVF images of comet Hale-Bopp taken 1997 February 10.5 UT, 50 days before perihelion.
All the images exhibit a nonspherical coma with a bright “ridge” in the direction of the dust tail approximately 10″ from
the coma. Synthetic aperture spectrophotometry implies that the optically important grains are of a radius ≤0.4 μm; smallest
radius for any comet seen to date. The variation of the integrated surface brightness with radial distance from the coma (ρ)
in all the images closely follows the “steady state” ρ−1 model for comet dust ablation (Gehrz and Ney, 1992). The near-infrared colors taken along the dust tail are not constant
implying the dust grain properties vary with coma distance.

An optical archive of comet Hale-Bopp was obtained over 28 nights from June 1996 to May 1997 covering a range of heliocentric
distances of r = 4.12 − 0.91. The CCD images were obtained with the 0.8-m University of Washington Manastash Ridge Observatory
and the 0.25-m Pennsylvania State University at Eriemobile observatory. The reduced images clearly document the evolution
of features of the coma, which were dominated by radial jetsfrom r = 4.1 − 2.3 AU, curved fan-shaped jets from r = 1.2 − 1.0
AU, and arcs or shells for 0.9 < r < 1.0 AU. We present the images and derive an average dust expansion velocity of Vdust = 0.67 ± 0.07 km s−1 from measurements of the arc features. The images in thearchive will be made available to other researchers for further study.

Hundreds of high quality CCD images obtained by the GAT group with the 33.5 cm reflector of the Sozzago Astronomical Observatory
(SAS) provide a detailed insight into the temporal evolution of comet Hale-Bopp. The images cover the time period from May
1996 until May 1997 and allowed us to analyze various near nucleus phenomena. Among them are jet structures that were visible
from August 1996 until May 1997 and shell structures that could be resolved from February 1997 to May 1997. We concentrate
on the morphology of these phenomena during March 1997 and investigated them by radial masking techniques that reveal their
precise shape and extent. In particular, polar coordinate representations could be used advantageously to derive numerical
parameters of these features.
