Scientific paper

The theory of polarization of fluorescence emission and its application to cometary molecules are reviewed. Special consideration is given to OH: it is predicted that the linear polarization of its near-UV band depends on the comet heliocentric velocity and is small, due to the presence of both directions of polarization in individual lines. Theoretical results are compared with polarization observations of the CN, C2, C3, and OH bands in P/Halley. The influence of fluorescence anisotropy in the modeling of molecular spectra is discussed.
