The Coma Morphology Due to an Extended Active Region and the Implications for the Spin State of Comet Hale-Bopp
{{output}}
We show that the circular character of continuum structures observed in the coma of comet Hale-Bopp around the perihelion passage is most likely due to a dust jet from a large extended active region on the surface. The coma morphology due to a wide jet is diff... ...
