Calculations of the fluorescent equilibrium of the CO(+) molecule to determine the Swings and Greenstein effects as a function of heliocentric radial velocity have been carried out. The previously ignored Baldet-Johnson (B-A) bands were included in addition to the comet tail (A-X) and first negative (B-X) bands, thus allowing a determination of the absolute intensities of all bands. As with certain other molecules such as OH and CN, the Swings effect on individual lines is large enough that integrated band fluxes in the comet tail system also exhibit the Swings effect. The flux variations for velocities in the range - 50 to + 350 km/s have been calculated and may be used to map the acceleration of CO(+) ions into the tail, even with low dispersion spectra.
