Swift-Tuttle

If the comet s path crosses Earth s path, then at that point meteor showers are observable as the Earth passes through the trail of debris. The Perseid meteor shower occurs every year between August 9 and 13 when the Earth passes through the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. Halley s comet is the source of the Orionid shower in October. [Pg.116]

Fig. 3. Comet Swift-Tuttle at 9.8 fim. Minimum contour level and level spacing are 10% of peak flux (17 mJy). The sun direction is toward the southwest. Comet Swift-Tuttle was mapped at 8.8, 9.8, 11.7, and 12.5 m (Deutsdi et al. 1992) to study the temperature, composition, spatial extent, and evolution of the dust cloud surrounding the comet nucleus. Spectral points at 8.8, 9.8, and 12.5 fim are well-flt by a Planck curve (T = 364 K). There is no evidence for a 9.8 fim amorphous silicate peak but a clear excess is seen at 11.7 fim. Fig. 3.
