DENSITY OF C2 MOLECULES IN THE HEAD OF COMET MRKOS 1955E

Abstract

The Energy emitted in the 1-0 band of the Swan system of C2 is derived from photoelectric observations. The intensity distribution as a function of the distance from the nucleus is used to determine the mean densities of C2 molecules for various diameters of the head. These densities vary from 2828 molecules /cc in regions close to the nucleus to 67 molecules/cc in regions located at one minute angular distance from the nucleus about 5.10 to the 4th power Km.
