Abstract: |
In this paper, we report the observation and the data reduction of the Jupiter-family comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, which was broken by an outburst in 1995. AKARI happened to sweep this comet twice during its All-Sky Survey. It is found that the major fragments B and C were detected, while G was not. We consider mini-fragments could run out of volatile material and became dormant or extinct. |
