[BAA Comets] The enigma of Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1

[Americo Watkins]

Richard,

I have just received three  requests from via research gateway for one of your recently submitted papers, "Anatomy of outbursts and quiescent activity of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann"

I guess as principle author you must have received them too.  They were from,

Julian Oey, John Drummond and  E. Bryssinck

Cheers Eric

Thanks Roger - Slightly strange - maybe one has to register/sign-in to go directly to the page.One solution - Suggest people access the Icarus "Articles in Press" by going to:http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/aip/00191035and the two papers are available as the 4th and 7th titles listed.I should say that only the abstracts are visible if you are not a subscriber to ScienceDirect. The articles are yet to have corrections applied to the proofs and page numbers to be assigned in the normal way.--------------It may be of interest to members of this list that in the "Acknowledgements" sections of these papers, the following people have been specifically thanked:Christian BuilRoger DymockGeorge FaillaceMartin C.

Observations analysed finished on 2014 September 13, after which time a lot more data have been forthcoming for future study.Richard----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Dymock" <roger.dymock at ntlworld.com>To: "'BAA Comets discussion list'" <comets-disc at britastro.org>Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2015 9:29 AMSubject: Re: [BAA Comets] The enigma of Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1> Hi Richard,>> Well done to you and your co-authors.
