✦ Synopsis

Considerable interest has been raised by the discovery of Comet Hale-Bopp (1995 01) and the possibility that it might hecome a very bright object in Spring 1997. The evidence to support either of the conflicting hypothesis (an intrinsically bright comet or a faint comet in a very large outburst) is too limited to reach solid conclusions and may remain so for some months yet. The pre-discovery observations encountered to date provide some limits to photometric models and suggest that the comet may be intrinsically bright, but do not yet permit a firm discrimination, even between extreme scenarios, due to the enormous extrapolation that must be made from the heliocentric distance at discovery, to that of perihelion.

## Water (H 2 O) was detected in Comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp on 10 dates between UT January 21.8 and May 1.2, 1997, using highresolution infrared spectroscopy. This is the first study of the heliocentric dependence of water released from a comet using direct detection of H 2 O itself. Production rat
