Scientific paper

We have built a radiative transfer model for optically thick molecular emission spectra to better understand the near nucleus regions of comets' comae. We use Coupled Escape Probability, a new accurate method of radiative transfer, which we have improved to be used in asymmetric spherical situations. We have implemented our model for CO, CO2, and H2O, species of particular interest in Deep Impact/EPOXI observations of Tempel 1 and Hartley 2. [2, 3]
