Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON)

 

 

September 24 2012 witnessed an announcement of a new discovery of a comet designated C/2012 S1 (ISON) by Vitali Nevski, Vitebsk, Belarus, and Artyom Novichonok, Kondopoga, Russia on their CCD images taken on 2012 Sept 21.06 UT through a 0.4-m f/3 reflector of the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) in the vicinity of Kislovodsk in Russia. With prediscovery data from Mt. Lemmon Survey taken on 2011 Dec 28.4 UT, MPEC 2012-S63 rendered us a parabolic orbit for the comet with prehelion distance q = 0.012 AU on T = 2013 Nov 28.9 TT. Based upon the current tendency and cometary activity of the comet, and given that the assumption of the slope K = 10.0 is made, the lightcurve predicts a peak magnitude of around -13 during the perihelion observed from the ground-based, even outshining the full moon! From the day on, I will keep an eye on the revolution of comet.

News came several days ago that this comet was reported to be much brighter than expected, therefore, we decided to spend some time observing this comet. We could confirm that the comet is very bright. MPC observation computed with Astrometrica using both UCAC-3 and CMC-14 star catalogs -- the former for astrometric reduction and the latter for photometric work:

I employed software Wafrho for computation of Afρ of the comet. Only the first two rows of the 8-frame-stacked images were used as thence the comet was situated relatively far away from a star in adjacency, whereby contamination from the star could be minimized by selecting appropriate box sizes. Despite that our equipment is unfiltered, owing to the distance of the comet, wherefore the main cometary activity is dorminated by dust, what I obtained perfectly matches outcomes yielded by other observers or observatories. The comparison stars were taken from Tycho Star Catalog. Peak Afρ = 543 +/- 9 cm at a nucleocentric radius 24937 km at 21:33 UT, Oct 15 2012. For the plot I obsoleted the outcomes from the second stacked image as the largest size of the box could not be used because of intruding contamination from the nearby star. Nevertheless, the peak Afρ was found within the tolerance of the aforemention value, 540 +/- 7 cm, also at the same nucleocentric radius.

I computed Afρ of the comet with a median stacked image of all the untrailed sequence. The two comparison stars were taken from Tycho Star Catalog. Peak Afρ is considerably larger than in previous observation. However, results between sub-sequences were not that consistent, probably owing to the changing focus of the setup attributed to the drastically varying temperature.

The magnitude fitting as a function of radius can be seen below. It confirms that the central condensation is very high, in consitent with "stellar appearance".

I computed Afρ of the comet with three median stacked images combined from the first thirty untrailed individuals. Two comparison stars were taken from Tycho Star Catalog -- TYC 2451-1828-1 and TYC 2452-0763-1. Peak Afρ is considerably larger than in previous observation. However, results between sub-sequences were inconsistent but decreased, probably owing to the changing ambient conditions, the most crucial of which might be the fact that the moon was to rise, however, high elevations of the atmosphere were already gradually influenced by the increasing intensity of the moonlight.

Poor tracking of the mount, thereby stars trailed in individuals. Focus not sharp either. Additionally the comet was situated amidst dense star field, so it was rather difficult to perform reliable measurements of cometary photometry and Afrho.

Wafrho written by CARA Project was also applied for Af[rho] calculation.

I also employed a beta version of the Wafrho to repeat the computation with UCAC-4 instead, and the new result perfectly matched the one with TYC catalog. Photometry measurements of the comet by Wafrho appeared ~0.5 mag fainter than those derived by FocAs, indicating different DNs counting.

Follow-up will be performed weather permitting so as to check what the error is. The difference is not trivial at all, and all of these have been disappointing me for days.

During this observation the comet managed to avoid dense star field, and it was successfully captured near the center of the frames and thereby measurements of photometry and Afrho should be much more accurate than in last observation session.

Today I re-coadded the image sequence and re-measured the Afrho values of the comet in Wafrho. Totally 4 comparison stars with color indexes similar to the sun's in catalog UCAC-4 were used.

It thereby does prove that the declination of Af[rho] of the comet.

Please note that the filter used was not standardized for photometry, and therefore this may well bring more uncertainty to the magnitude of the comet. The enlarged section is magnified 4x.

Unfortunately since the imager Carl Chan was not familiar with imaging comets, he mistakenly regarded the mode as the one in DSO photographing, that the exposure of each of an individual image was as long as 10-min and consequently all but one was in good tracking and applicable for photometry.

As MaxImDL is proved accurate in terms of photometry, I applied the software for saving time. Overall 10 comparison stars adjacently surrounding the comet apparently close to the brightness of the comet by visual inspection were taken from the NOMAD catalog:

I assumed that the green filter shares the same transmission with the V band filter. The photometric aperture was set to 6-pixel in radius, sky annulus 10-pixel for the inner and 16-pixel for the outer. The final outcome rendered the magnitude enclosed by such an aperture as 13.538. Uncertainties from the zero point of the image (0.062) and noise of the image were both considered, as large as 0.105.

Images taken in the course of SASP in C42. Unfortunately the quality of the calibration files was unsatisfactory, whereby the vignetting could not be completely removed. The resulting measurements of photometry were highly likely drowned in large uncertainties. To make matters worse, the pointing of the scope was so poor that the comet was situated very close to the edge. Whilst the scope with a larger aperture managed to reveal a longer tail of the comet, yet the coma it recorded was much smaller.

I stacked the image sequence and measured the Afrho values in Wafrho. Totally 3 comparison stars with color indexes similar to the sun's in catalog UCAC-4 were used.

The Af[rho] amount significantly dropped, compared to the observation made in Feb this year.

I applied APER.pro for measuring the brightness of the comet on the image with registration on the cometary motion. 9 comparison stars around the comet were taken from the same image sequence yet stacked with alignment to stars to obtain the zero point value. Fianlly a series of apertures were centered on the optocenter which was solved by CNTRD.pro and yielded the multiaperture photometry. Unfortunately, the largest aperture could merely have a radius of 20-arcsec because a bright star was closely situated.

It is frustrating to witness greater discrepancies between the data by APER.pro and those given by FOCAS as the photometric apertures went larger, albeit the latter was employing square boxes. With these limited data I obtained the magnitude enclosed by an infinite circular aperture $m_\infty = 14.070 \pm 0.053$. The uncertainty is a combination of the error in data fitting and the errors of the magnitude data themselves. However, it is very likely that the total brightness could have been brighter because the brightening trend in the inner coma might not render a correct extrapolation to the outer coma. I also noticed that the coma captured by the setup appeared considerably smaller than the setup with a smaller aperture and a shorter focal length. Therefore the authentic total brightness of the coma should in fact be brighter than what I obtained with these SASP images.

The following graphic illustrates the radial profile of the comet. The image was transformed to polar coordinates, then the azimuthal profile was medianed and finally the resulting data were plotted. $\rho$ is in arcsec whilst the intensity is in ADU.

With photometric data I obtained the magnitude as if enclosed by an infinite circular aperture $V_\infty = 12.358 \pm 0.011$. The uncertainty was calculated according to the propagation of the errors of the magnitude data themselves. R.M.S. of the fit is around 0.10.

In order to be in consistency with the photometric data, I calculated Afrho myself in IDL. The following shows the plot.

The trend is similar to the dataset measured in Wafrho, and the peak of the Afrhos indeed is placed around $\rho$ ~ 3E+04 km, however, the slope is slightly different, although Wafrho uses square boxes. I had checked the steps in my scripts so do not think that there was any typo or severe error. More tests to be done.

Unfortunately the report was rejected by the MPC in the automatic reply. Photometry and astrometry are hard to be compatible! I stacked the image sequence by means of median combining respectively with alignment to the comet and to the field stars, and the Afrho values in Wafrho were measured. Totally 6 comparison stars with color indexes similar to the sun's in catalog UCAC-4, adjacent to the comet were used.

I applied APER.pro for measuring the brightness of the comet. 11 comparison sun-analog stars in APASS around the comet were taken from the same image sequence yet stacked with alignment to stars to obtain the zero point value. Fianlly a series of apertures were centered on the optocenter which was solved by CNTRD.pro and yielded the multiaperture photometry.

In order to be in consistency with the photometric data, I employed my IDL routine written by myself for calculating Afrho:

I noticed that the declining trend at large $\rho$ is steeper than that shown by the plot with Wafrho's results. Through tests it was found that the differences all come from the determination of the background value which was used to be subtracted from the mixed flux enclosed by the aperture centered on the comet's optocenter. Wafrho gives a fainter background, i.e. smaller ADU, whereas APER.pro renders a brighter one. So as to eliminate different factors involved since APER.pro uses a circular aperture whilst Wafrho exploits a square box, I selected several regions without much star contamination in square boxes and computed the values of the background. All of them were close to the result given by APER.pro, ADU larger than Wafrho's. I tend to rely on APER.pro, of which the fame has already been well established throughout the community.

The unit of the apertures are in pixel.

With photometric data I obtained the magnitude as if enclosed by an infinite circular aperture $V_\infty = 11.431 \pm 0.023$.

Pixel size: 4.97"/pixel, rotation: -66.36 deg. 16' tail in length in P.A. 296 deg, coma size 2'.4 in diameter.

 

I applied APER.pro for measuring the brightness of the comet. 10 comparison sun-analog stars in APASS around the comet were taken from the same image sequence yet stacked with alignment to stars to obtain the zero point value. Fianlly a series of apertures were centered on the optocenter which was solved by CNTRD.pro and yielded the multiaperture photometry.

I did not measure photometry of this comet in a serious manner because the CCD is unfiltered. The comet is now close to the sun and thereby strong activity with the gas.

Astrometrica failed to solve plate constants for the images, and therefore I simply rejected astrometric measurement.

Again Astrometrica failed to solve plate constants for the image sequence. The appearance of the coma near the optocenter changes dramatically morphologically after an outburst on Nov 13.

No astrometric measurement. Unfortunately this is the last observation of this comet remotely imaged at C42.
