Analysis of data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite has yielded evidence for narrow trails of dust coincident with the orbits of periodic comets Tempel 2, Encke, and Gunn. Dust was found both ahead of and behind the orbital positions of these comets. This dust was produced by the low-velocity ejection of large particles during perihelion passage. More than 100 additional dust trails are suggested by the data, almost all near the detection limits of the satellite. Many of these dust trails may be derived from previously unobserved comets.
对红外天文卫星（Infrared Astronomical Satellite）的数据进行分析后，发现了与周期彗星坦普尔 2 号（Tempel 2）、恩克（Encke）和冈恩（Gunn）的轨道相吻合的尘埃狭窄轨迹的证据。在这些彗星的轨道位置前后都发现了尘埃。这些尘埃是在近日点通过时，由低速抛出的大颗粒产生的。这些数据表明，有 100 多条额外的尘埃轨迹，几乎都接近卫星的探测极限。其中许多尘埃轨迹可能来自以前未观测到的彗星。
