Scientific paper

Eight comets are studied with the International Ultraviolet Explorer spectrographs. The existence of the CO2(plus) ion in a comet is confirmed through the presence of the 2890 A doublet in at least three of these objects. Spatial and spectral resolution obtained in comets Bradfield (1979 X) and Seargent (1978 XV) permit a discussion of the production mechanisms of this ion. The spectra reveal new ionic features in the 3100-3400 A range, which are attributed to resonance fluorescence of the Fox-Duffendack-Barker system of the CO2(plus) ion and, near 3350 A, to the OH(plus) ion.
