Abstract:
CN (∆v=0) and C₂ (∆v = +1,0, -1) emission fluxes at 388.3, 469.5, 516.5 and 553.8 nm respectively and continuum fluxes at 484.0 nm have been analysed to get the production rates of molecular species CN and C₂ and dust in the coma of the comet Hyakutake (C/1996 B2). Using water vaporization theory the size of the nucleus has also been estimated.
