Scientific paper

The possibility of nitrous oxide (N_2O) molecules in Comet 1P/ Halley (Saxena 2004) is revisited in the light of theoretical considerations, its detection in hot molecular cores and observations of annealed Mg-silicate grains in comets to support its parent nature in other comets as well. Having a photo-lifetime geq10^5s at 1 AU heliocentric distance (Huebner et al. 1992), N_2O may be the source of N_2^+ ions in cometary tails. The detection of N_2O molecule in comets will have important implications on the nature of cometary parent molecules.
