TNE EVOLUTION OF THE PHOTOMETRIC PARAMETRS OF SHORT PERIODIC COMET 2P/ENCKE AND SOLAR ACTIVITY
Keywords:
comet 2P/Encke, absolute magnitude, photometric parameter, solar activity, correlation coefficientAbstract
The article discusses the dependences of the photometric parameters of the short-period comet 2P/Encke and the activity of the Sun. It turned out that the absolute magnitude of comets is completely independent of the Wolf number. The correlation coefficient for comet 2P/Encke is 0.88 0.03. Most likely, other processes affect the activity of the comet's nucleus. Although the absolute magnitude has fallen by more than 3m, the comet is still active.
