Fine Scale Structure in Cometary Dust Tails - Figure 6.8 - Sunward aligned temporal maps of C/2002 V1 from C3 Clear images with MGN enhancement
A sequences of 70 sunward aligned temporal maps of C/2002 V1's main dust tail created from the SOHO LASCO C3 clear filter data using MGN enhancement.<div><br></div><div>These are the same temporal maps shown in Figure 6.6 but shifted from the (<b>β</b><sub>r, </sub><b>t</b><sub>e</sub>)<b> </b>phase space into the (<b>R</b>,<b> </b><b>θ</b>) phase space.</div><div><div><br></div><div>The tail is shown from 2003 February 16th at 18:54 UT until February 19th 17:54 UT. Dust is displayed from the region of 0.2 < <b>β<sub>r</sub></b> < 2.5 with ejection times from 2003 February 14th 00:00 UT through to February 18th 00:00 UT.</div><div><br></div><div>The CME passes through the tail at around 08:54 UT on February 18th. Eight hours later, the oldest dust in the tail is barely visible, and a new prominent stria feature has formed.</div></div>
