Scientific paper

MANY of the simple radicals observed in cometary spectra, for example OH and NH, probably originate as dissociation products of more stable parent molecules such as H2O and NH3. Ip and Mendis1 have recently discussed the possibilities of observing H2O in Comet Kohoutek (1973f). If CH4 exists in significant abundance in comets, it could be a parent of observed CH and CH+. It is difficult to observe CH4 directly but a rather specific though indirect means of detecting its presence is suggested.
