Fine Scale Structure in Cometary Dust Tails - Figure 5.15 - Stria breaking up seen by STEREO-B at dust point G
A sequence of images extracted from the STEREO-B HI-1 view of C/2011 L4, using coarse scale difference images. The breakup of a stria early on the 14th march is shown, centred on the green point G which represents a dust particle with βr = 0.8 and te = 2013-03-05 at 12:00 UT.
