Description
The authors present the results of narrow-band filter photometry of
Periodic Comet Faye obtained from Estacion Astronomica "Dr. Carlos U.
Cesco" of Felix Aguilar Observatory, San Juan, Argentina, in November
and December 1991 using the International Halley Watch (IHW) standard
filters. The production rates of CN, C2 and C3 are
derived from the Haser model, and that of O(1D) and
H2O are derived from the relations provided by Cochran (1990)
and Newburn and Spinrad (1985, 1989). Estimated values for the radius
and fraction of nuclear active surface are given.
