## 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
Ethane (C 2 H 6 ) was detected in Comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp on 13 dates between UT 1996 September 20.3 (R h = 3.01 AU preperihelion) and 1997 September 25.7 (R h = 2.83 AU post-perihelion) using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. Production rates and rotational temperatures were measured, and th
