Scientific paper

Hydrogen abundance and spatial-distribution models previously used to reproduce the observed wide-field Lyman-alpha comae of Comets Kohoutek and Halley are presently applied to three months of IUE observations of Comet P/Giacobini/Zinner. A spherical radiative transfer model adapted for application to the H coma is also used to analyze these observations, under the same physical assumptions as the vectorial model for OH except in the case of optical density. Water production rates are obtained which closely agree with those derived from vectorial model analysis of OH observations.
