Scientific paper

Observations of the dynamically new comet C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) were obtained with the Arizona Radio Observatory Kitt Peak 12-m telescope during 2004 May 6-18. Emission was detected from the HCN 3-2, CO 2-1 and H2S 1(1,0)-1(0,1) transitions and column densities were calculated for these molecules. Modeled production rates of HCN, CO and H2S are presented and compared with water production rates to explore whether any of these species appear depleted in this comet.
