Scientific paper
Comet 1983d was named IRAS-Araki-Alcock in honor of its codiscoverers, including the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and two amateur astronomers. It is pointed out that the apparition of Comet 1983d was the closest cometary approach to earth since the development of modern astronomy. Because of the evolution of electromagnetic detector technology, a large range of ground-based observations of this object were possible. In the present investigation, attention is given to observations and some interpretations of the spectrum of Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock in the wavelength region from 1.5 to 20 microns. In addition to the observations made with a bolometer and discrete filters, spectrophotometric observations were made of the nuclear condensation of Comet 1983d in the 1.5- to 2.6-micron wavelength region at 5 percent resolution.
