The VTOV Model Variable Temperature and Outflow Velocity From Combi, et al. 1999, ApJ, 512, 961 Haser model assumes constant temperature and outflow velocity This is not the case for higher resolution interferometric observations Models the comet as shells Models the comet as shells Temperature and outflow velocity assigned to each shell Temperature and outflow velocity assigned to each shell Model array response to each shell Model array response to each shell
