FRAGMENTS OF COMET HYAKUTAKE (C/1996 B2)

摘要

Several fragments of Comet Hyakutake were observed in March and April of 1996. This leads to the impression that the splitting of Comet Hyakutake on a small scale occurred frequently. Data analysis points to a rotation period of about 6.2h if the fragments of April 11 are the condensations within a jet.
