Scientific paper
The high resolution spectra of comets Giacobini-Zinner and Halley have been measured in the region of the CS emission. Both spectra have essentially the same shape, but the Halley spectrum has a better signal to noise ratio. Attempts have been made to obtain the rotational distribution of the radical in these comets by using an inversion program and spectral simulation. Both procedures suggest that the rotational distribution is dominated by CS radicals with Jarcsec ≤ 5. Despite this it appears that another distribution with higher Jarcsec's is needed to explain the shape of the rotational distribution. Arguments are presented which suggest that this second distribution is due to a balance between collisions and radiation in the inner coma.
