Scientific paper

Production rates of OH, CN, C2, C3, NH, and NH2 were derived from different data sets for the Comet P/Wolf-Harrington, and a dust production measure was calculated. This comet is found to be depleted by more than an order of magnitude in its pure carbon species compared with OH and CN. The data obtained suggest that a nonnegligible fraction of comets or their constituent components formed at a different temperature and thus at a different location and/or time than the majority of comets.
