Scientific paper

Since comet P/Temple-2 is one of the potential targets for the CRAF (Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby) mission, we obtained long slit spectroscopic data with our CCD spectrograph during its 1988 apparition. As the same spectrograph was extensively used for observations of P/Halley, this allowed a direct spectroscopic comparison between the two objects. Furthermore we could choose a P/Halley spectrum which was taken at a heliocentric distance very close to that of P/Temple-2. Finally, we could adjust the integration windows along the slit to compensate for the different geocentric distances, so that roughly the same projected distance of the comets' comae was observed. The parameters for our observations are given.
