Scientific paper

With the key result of Krishna Swamy and O'Dell (1977), a complete fluorescence equilibrium calculation has been used to predict the detailed Swan-band spectrum in comets. A rotational Boltzmann temperature of approximately 3000 K and small changes in published molecular constants lead to a theoretical spectrum in excellent agreement with that observed. The Fox-Herzberg bands are predicted to be quite weak compared with previously observed ultraviolet features in cometary spectra. The Ballik-Ramsay bands should be observable in the near-infrared.
