Abstract
The active comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) was target of an optical long-term monitoring program carried out at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) (Rauer et al. [CITE], [CITE]). Longslit spectra and images were obtained at heliocentric distances from 4.6 AU to 2.9 AU preperihelion and 2.8 AU to 12.8 AU postperihelion. Based on these data, the dust activity of comet Hale-Bopp is analysed. The color of the dust coma and the Afρ parameter are determined. A model for the dust release from the cometary nucleus is presented and used to compute dust production rates. The dust to gas ratio is determined.
