Scientific paper

Oort-cloud comet C/2007 N3 (Lulin) was observed in both L-band and M-band by three different telescopes/instruments atop Mauna Kea; IRTF with CSHELL (R~25,000), Subaru telescope with IRCS (R~15,000), and Keck II telescope with NIRSPEC (R~25,000) during its 2009 apparition. We detected H2O, HCN, C2H2, CH3OH, CH4, C2H6, and CO and determined mixing ratios of these organic volatiles relative to H2O. We investigate will chemical variability in the coma of comet Lulin. We also compare our results with the CO mixing ratios determined by the Japanese infrared satellite AKARI.
