Cometocentric coordinates of the tail axis of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Ibragimov, A. A.

In this paper, we consider errors in the measurement of cometocentric coordinates. The sequence of actions for determining the cometocentric coordinates by perspective projection of the image points of the comet onto the orbital plane is given on the example of comet 67P. Conditions are shown that increase the accuracy of determining the angle of …
