Scientific paper

No infrared vibration-rotation spectra have yet been seen for any comet, even though molecular emission features in the ultraviolet and visual regions are common, and gaseous matter is the dominant constituent of the coma. This is in part due to instrumental and atmospheric limitations, but also because non-LTE conditions prevail nearly everywhere throughout the coma and tails, leading to unusual spectra. Aspects of cometary physics and non-LTE spectroscopy are considered. Some aspects of the infrared signatures of cometary molecules are predicted.
