Scientific paper

Spectrophotometric observations of the coma of the comets C/2000 WM1 (LINEAR) and C/2002 C1 (Ikeya-Zhang) were taken during Nov, Dec 2001 and Mar, Apr 2002 respectively with 104-cm telescope of the State Observatory, Nainital. CN ($\lambda$ 3883 \AA) and C$_{2}$ swan bands ($\lambda$ 4695, $\lambda$ 5165 and $\lambda$ 5538 \AA) have been identified in both the comets. Na I emission was detected in comet Ikeya-Zhang. An estimate of CN and C$_{2}$ abundances and their production rates have been derived. Dust production rates have also been determined.
