Imaging and Photometry of Comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) before Perihelion and after Breakup

We analyzed photometric measurements and images of comet C/LINEAR before perihelion and after its breakup. Results from our photometry data include a lower limit of 0.44 kilometer for the radius of the nucleus before breakup, and a determination that it was depleted in carbon-chain molecules relativ...
