Notes. α is the phase angle, rh is the heliocentric distance, and Δ is the distance between comet and spacecraft. Each sequence consists of images acquired with the 11 filters of the NAC camera: F22 (649.2 nm), F23 (535.7 nm), F24 (480.7 nm), F16 (360.0 nm), F27 (701.2 nm), F28 (743.7 nm),F41 (882.1 nm), F51 (805.3 nm), F61 (931.9 nm), F71 (989.3 nm), and F15 (269.3 nm). (a) Number of analyzed sequences on the date. The sequences usually cover slightly more than one rotation period of the comet. (b) This entry specifically refers to the number of jets that have been successfully located on the surface, not to the total number of jets. Some jets originate from behind the limb, and we cannot precisely locate their source region. (c) This is the average number of detected jets per sequence for a given date.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
