Abstract: | Several digital image processing techniques were used to improve the visibility of details, fans and jets, in the inner coma of the comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock 1983 VII on the short CCD-exposures taken by R. E. Schild with the 61-cm telescope through three I, J, and F band filters, at the Whipple Observatory during the close approach from May 6 through May 12, 1983. About 140 CCD images with the pixel size of 0.73 give a resolution about 20 km, and selected CDD frames presented together with isophotes demonstrate the variation and interrelation of the coma morphology and the nucleus activities during the observing period. Results and processed images are compared with observations taken by other observers during the same period. |
