Scientific paper

The IRTF's ProtoCAM has been used to observe the organic emission feature peaking near 3.36 microns in Comet Levy. 2D images of the spatial distribution of the 3.4-micron organic emission exhibit brightness profiles statistically indistinguishable from that of the dust continuum, within 1225 of the cometary nucleus; this suggests a progenitor for the emission feature which is not a photodissociation fragment of some other species.
