Table 1:
Instrument filter setup and filter properties during the DI
observations at ESO.
The broadband filters are annotated following the
standard photometry designation. Note that
is a modified R Bessell filter - see http://www.eso.org/instruments/fors1/ for further
details. The names of the narrowband gas filters (CN, C2, C3, NH2)
refer to the respective
gaseous species that emit light in the filter passband. Dust continuum
filters are labeled BC for "blue continuum'' and RC for "red continuum'',
a narrowband OII filter was used to measure the dust continuum in the UV.
A special Na filter was installed for imaging of the comet in the wavelength
range of the sodium D lines.
