This document analyzes total visual and CCD V-broadband observations of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) from 1995 to 2001. The author compares CCD V-broadband observations from one source to total visual magnitude observations from experienced observers. About 400 CCD observations were analyzed alongside around 12,000 visual magnitude observations. A least-squares method was used to determine power laws relating water production rates to heliocentric distance before and after perihelion. The average nucleus size and effective active area were also determined and compared to previous literature.

Abstract We developed a general method for determination of water production rates from groundbased visual observations and applied it to Comet HaleBopp. Our main objective is to extend the method to include total visual magnitude observations obtained with CCD detector and V filter in the analysis of total visual magnitudes. We compare the CCD V-broadband careful observations of Liller [Liller, W. Pre-perihelion CCD photometry of Comet 1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp). Planet. Space Sci. 45, 15051513, 1997; Liller, W. CCD photometry of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp): 19952000. Int. Comet Quart. 23(3), 9397, 2001] with the total visual magnitude observations from experienced international observers found in the International Comet Quarterly (ICQ) archive. A data set of _400 CCD observations covering about the same 6 years time span of the _12,000 ICQ selected total visual magnitude observations were used in the analysis. A least-square method applied to the water production rates, yields power laws as a function of the heliocentric distances for the pre- and post- perihelion phases. The average dimension of the nucleus as well as its effective active area is determined and compared with values published in the literature.
