Analysis of CN Coma Morphology Features of Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner
We analyze jet features found in the coma of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner (21P/GZ) during its 2018 perihelion passage using narrowband CN photometric imaging in order to determine the comet’s rotational period, and we constrain the CN gas outflow velocity and rotational state through the analysis of a...
