Carbon isotope ratios have been measured for CN in the coma of comet Halley and for several CHON particles emitted by Halley. Of these, only the CHON-particle data may be reasonably related to organic matter in the cometary nucleus, but the true range of 13C/12C values in those particles is quite un
Infrared observations of comets over the 2-4 pm waveband are interpreted in terms of a model with varying contributions from bacterial-type and viral-type particles, and with small additional contributions arising from degraded organic molecules at grain surfaces.
