Abstract :
[en] Narrowband multidiaphragm photometry of comet Giacobini-Zinner, obtained shortly after ICE passed behind the comet's nucleus is summarized. Derived fluxes are presented, and Haser model production rates are given for each night data. The comet appears to be an exception to the production rate-heliocentric distance relation.
