    Temperature and size of the nucleus of comet P/Halley deduced from IKS infrared Vega 1 measurements

    The infrared thermal emission of the nucleus of Halley’s comet was measured by the imaging channel of the IKS spectrometer in two wavelengths bands (7–10 µm and 9–14 µm) and in two perpendicular directions of ana...
