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. $Q_{\rm mean}$ and $R_{\rm mean}$ 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 *.
