Scientific paper

Cometary comae exhibit abundant sulfur and sulfur compounds, most of which are absent in planetary atmospheres. Sulfur compounds have also been detected in the interstellar medium, including SO, SO2, CS, etc., but excluding S2 which was identified only in comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock (IAA) 1983d. The study of the origin and parent molecules of these compounds, therefore, may yield a clue to the question of the formation and evolution of comets from the interstellar medium. Our work is aimed at determining abundances of the various sulfur compounds in comets.
