We report the first detection of the nitrogen sulfide (NS) radical in a comet. The abundance relative to water is at least a few hundredths of a percent for Comet Hale-Bopp.
## Efforts to apply a single-scattering polarized radiative transfer code to interpret photopolarimetric measurements of coma dust optical properties in Comet Hale-Bopp corroborate previous photometrically derived conclusions concerning the predominance of small sized particles in Hale-Bopp's coma
We report on observations and analysis of the C 2 Swan band v = 0 sequence in the optical spectrum of Comet Hale-Bopp. One set of observational data was obtained when this comet was at a large heliocentric distance (3.03 AU). This unusual distance provided the opportunity to enhance our knowledge of
