Scientific paper

Results from ultraviolet spectrographic observations of Comet West (1975n) in the 1620-3960 A wavelength range are presented. Objective grating imagery of the comet reveals for the first time emission from sulfur atoms and CS molecules as well as previously observed lines or bands in carbon atoms and CO(+), CO2(+) and OH molecules. Some evidence exists for emission in the C2 Mulliken bands and in the CO Cameron bands. On the basis of the observations, production rates of C (ground state), C(1D), S, and CS are inferred to be 3.8 x 10 to the 29th per sec, 4.4 x 10 to the 29th per sec, 1.7 x 10 to the 28th per sec, and greater than approximately 3.1 x 10 to the 27th per sec, respectively.
