COMET C/2012 S1 (ISON)
H. Boehnhardt, et.a al., Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, and
others report the detection of coma wings in Laplace- filter-processed CCD
exposures of Comet C/2012 S1 obtained with the 0.4-m telescope of the Mt.
Wendelstein Observatory on 2013 Nov. 14.16-14.21 and 16.16-16.21 UT.  The
arclet-like wings appeared in the opposite direction from the nucleus at
position angles 15 and 195 deg on Nov. 14 and at p.a. 25 and 205 deg on Nov.
16.  The coma wings extended straight from the nucleus for about 4700 km on
Nov. 14 and 13500 km on Nov. 16 on either side of the extended radius vector
and continued in streamers of the plasma tail.  No coma wings were found in
similar exposures obtained on Nov. 13.  The coma wings suggest the presence
of two or more sub-nuclei with individual expanding atmospheres in the
overall cometary coma and may indicate recent nucleus splitting in the
comet.
