Abstract

AbstractWe present a simulation based on the morphology of the inner coma of comet Hale-Bopp(C/1995 O1) in February 1997. The synthetic images can fit the observations well, suggesting a simple spin mode. The rotation parameters, obliquity of orbital plane to equator and argument of subsolar meridian at perihelion, are 71 and 81 degrees respectively.
