Table 5:
Fluxes, molecule production rate&production rate
ratios and dust continuum reddening of 9P/Tempel 1 during 2-10 July 2005.
The fluxes F and reddening slopes R are measured in circular apertures of
fixed radii centered at the brightness peak in the coma.
and
are mean values of the production
rates and reddening slopes, respectively, obtained from the flux and
slope measurements with radii
5000, 10 000, 15 000, and 20 000 km. The continuum filter image used for
dust continuum subtraction in the gas filter images is indicated in table
column DCONT; if two filters are given, the flux and production rate numbers
are the mean values obtained from measurements using either of the two filter images as
reference for the dust continuum subtraction. The table lists logarithmized
values for fluxes and production rates. "NM'' means "no useful measurement
obtained''. Flux F is measured in erg/s/cm2/Å, production
rates Q in molecules/s, reddening slope R in %/100 nm, aperture radii are in km
at the distance of the comet. All results are based on narrowband filter
imaging of the comet obtained with the EMMI instrument at the ESO NTT
telescope in La Silla. Measurements, obtained at very high airmass where the flux
calibration may be badly affected by extinction, are indicated by symbol *.
