Abstract

The authors present the results of narrow-band filter photometry of Periodic Comet Faye obtained from Estacion Astronomica "Dr. Carlos U. Cesco" of Felix Aguilar Observatory, San Juan, Argentina, in November and December 1991 using the International Halley Watch (IHW) standard filters. The production rates of CN, C2 and C3 are derived from the Haser model, and that of O(1D) and H2O are derived from the relations provided by Cochran (1990) and Newburn and Spinrad (1985, 1989). Estimated values for the radius and fraction of nuclear active surface are given.
