摘要
Based upon broad-band CCD observation data of comet Hale-Bopp obtained by a 60 cm telescope at Xinglong Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory during March-August, 1996, the photometric results of comet Hale-Bopp are reported. Using the photometric results, the dust production rate, radius and mass of nucleus of comet Hale-Bopp are estimated as follows: dM/dt × 1.5 × 105 kgs?1, Rn × 35.5 km, and Mn × 5.65 × 1016 kg.
