Scientific paper

A standard isotropic nuclear outgassing model with photodissociative decay is used to derive the production rates for CO, CH3OH, and H2CO on Comet Hale-Bopp. The production rate of CO, Q(CO), for Hale-Bopp is shown as a function of heliocentric distance. The CO production rate evolution displays three distinct regimes, with obvious breaks near 6.3 and 4.8 AU. It is suggested that the flattening of the CO production rate near 6 AU occurred owing to either surface quantity of energy-rate limits.
