Scientific paper

The author reviews recent observations and theoretical works concerning cometary molecules, relevant to sub-millimetre spectroscopy. Of peculiar interest is the study of the rotational lines of water, the prevailing cometary volatile molecule. Its 110 - 101 line at 557 GHz may be observable even in small comets. The author also shows that the high spectroscopic resolution achieved by heterodyne techniques is adequate to the study of the kinematics of cometary atmospheres.
