Scientific paper

The comet is observed spectrophotometrically in order to detect the emission features due to various molecules and to make an estimate of the CN and C2 production rates and column densities. It is pointed out that the fluorescence efficiency of CN varies significantly with the heliocentric radial velocity of the comet. The production rates of the molecular species are shown to increase as the comet approaches the sun.
