Abstract
The results of the photoelectric photometry with the narrowband CN, C3, C2 and Blue Continuum (BC) IHW interference filters are presented. Observations were carried out with a set of diaphragms of different effective radii. On the base of the Haser model the production rates of the radicals have been obtained. The CN and C2 molecules scale lengths (3.4 × 105 km and 8.5 × 104 km respectively for 1.0 AU heliocentric distance) have been also derived. The dust continuum spectrum is negligibly low in comparison with the molecular one, which stay in agreement with the results of other observations of comet Okazaki-Levy-Rudenko.
