Some results of the study of shells (arcs) in the near-nucleus region of comet Hale-Bopp are presented. ... All these calibration procedures gave an opportunity to draw on each image a polar coordinate grid ( rho, phi ), where rho - the distance of the shell point from the nucleus (cometocentric distance in 10 4 km), phi - the polar angle measured with respect to the axis directed to the Sun. ... T = Delta t / (N + Delta N) = Delta t / (N + Delta psi / 360) = 360 Delta t / (360 N + Delta psi), (2) . ...
