对于IRAM观测结果和STEREO图像的疑问邮件组里有人的回复如下
Hi Clay,
IRAM observing comet on millimeter radio waves, which allows it to observe it even on daylight.
STEREO and SOHO has very poor resolution, for example they failed to catch disintegration of comet Lovejoy 1.6 day after perihelion. Their only contribution is following brightening trend of comet, which should brightening now from like 3 mag to -2 / -8 magnitude in perihelion.
Best regards,
