Last update (20 days in outburst!) - source Harvard:
linear interpolation suggests 1.5 arcmin/day continuous expansion of the coma (the dotted 6-deg interpolation purpose is to show oscillations), while luminosity reduction is a more questionable -1.5% each day! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
