Scientific paper

Some early results of a systematic program of observing the spectroscopic behavior of comets as a function of heliocentric distance are presented. An ultraviolet sensitive microchannel plate intensifier spectrograph was used to record the 3000-5000A spectrum of comets brighter than magnitude 17 with a spectral resolution of 8 or 16A, followed by direct image for better interpretation of the spatial distribution of spectral features. Although the goals of the program require much more time and data, some interesting results from Comets Schwassmann-Wachmann, 1, Bradfield and Bowell were obtained.
