Scientific paper

A spectrum of comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, taken when the comet was in a quiescent state 6.19 AU from the sun, shows the 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 vibrational transitions of the A2Pi-X2Sigma band system of CO(+) and a weak solar reflection continuum. It is noted that such emission has never been observed in this comet when in a quiescent state. Mechanisms for outbursts in the comet are discussed.
