Abstract :
[en] In the framework of the HssO project the Herschel PACS instrument acquired images of 7 comets between June 2010 and February 2013. Three of these comets have been imaged at several heliocentric distances allowing us to follow up the evolution of the dust coma . Radial profiles have been derived for each image. We measured flux densities at 70, 110 and 160 μm in order to determine the comet dust production rate. In some cases, after deconvolution by the instrumental PSF, we might have detected the nucleus signal in the central pixels.
