gaussian = 49 eV] from 0.25 to 0.8 keV. The observations consist of a list of time-tagged detections of individual photon pulse heights and spatial locations. CXO was able to follow the comet's nonsidereal motion using multiple pointings, and the target was centered in the back-illuminated CCD chip S3, the most optimal for x-ray spectroscopy. Using a preliminary version of the "sso_freeze" algorithm, part of the Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations (CIAO) software, we constructed a comet image remapped into a coordinate system moving with the comet (38). To create light curves, a circular source aperture of 3.7′ radius was chosen in CIAO, and several background apertures were extracted >4′ away from the comet's diffuse emission and toward the outer edge of the chip (39). Spectra were extracted in an identical fashion, and the effect of energy-dependent instrument sensitivity was removed using the effective areas given in the CXO on-orbit measured instrument response matrices. Upon examination of the extracted spectra, only photons of energy 200 to 800 eV were found to be statistically significant against the sky and instrumental backgrounds. Comparison of the EUVE 0.09- to 0.25-keV images and CXO images demonstrated that the comet over-filled the entire S3 field-of-view, and all absolute CXO count rates have been corrected for vignetting using aperture photometry curves from the two cameras.

4, C, O, Ne, and Fe were found at http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/ACE/ULEIS/ spec_gadget.html Our observations of C/LINEAR using the EUVE scanners and of the solar-terrestrial environment using the SOHO, WIND, and ACE spacecraft were performed in the same manner as used to observe comets Encke (2) and Hale-Bopp (6).

The bowshock is the region of the coma where the fluid solar wind, impinging on the much thicker cometary coma ionosphere, picks up enough coma mass ("mass loading") to abruptly slow down in a gentle shock while increasing markedly in density and magnetic field strength. The contact surface is the location in the coma inside of which ionic species and interplanetary magnetic field lines are excluded. The existence of both of these predicted regions in the cometary coma was verified during the in situ flybys of comet 1P/Halley 1986 by the Giotto and Vega spacecraft. For a good review of the flybys, see H. Reme et al. [Astron. Astrophys. 187, 33 (1987)].

The location of the shock near the edges of the wings is typically, at most, a factor of 2 farther from the nucleus than at the subsolar point.

Although it is based on the overly simplified Wegmann model (11), a good discussion of how to interpret the x-ray spectra for variable solar wind flux and composition is given by N. A. Schwadron and T. E. Cravens [Astrophys. J. 544, 558 (2000)].

We have used the cometary ephemerides (DE-405, mid-June 2000, epoch = 4 August 2000) of D. K. Yeomans et ai found at http://ssd.jpLnasa.gov/horizons.html to target the comet and to remap our observations into a comet-centered reference frame. The estimated pointing uncertainties for the CXO and EUVE spacecraft are 1″ and 10″, respectively. The estimated ephemeris uncertainties for C/LINEAR are large, due to the large non-gravitational (i.e., jet) forces created during the comet's prolonged breakup in July 2000, on the order of 10″ or so, and along with the 1′ HEW of the EUVE scanner telescopes, dominate the EUVE positional uncertainties of our observations. For the CXO observations, the limited number of detected photons (∼13,000) restricted the effective detector resolution, due to statistical counting uncertainties, to pixels of 10″ extent.
