Herschel observations of gas and dust in comet C/2006 W3 (Christensen) at 5 AU from the Sun

Context. Cometary activity at large heliocentric distances is thought to be driven by outgassing of molecular species more volatile than water that are present in the nucleus. The long-period comet C/2006 W3 (Christensen) was an exceptional target for a detailed study of its distant gaseous and dust...

Sumario:Context. Cometary activity at large heliocentric distances is thought to be driven by outgassing of molecular species more volatile than water that are present in the nucleus. The long-period comet C/2006 W3 (Christensen) was an exceptional target for a detailed study of its distant gaseous and dust activity.
