Abstract

The light curves of integrated visual brightness of the periodic comet 9P/Tempel during 1972, 1983, 1994, and 2005 appearances were constructed and studied. The values of photometrical parameters H0, n, and H10 were computed. A secular fading of this comet was studied. The light curve of comet near the impact time was constructed and it was compared with comet's water production rate.
