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.

## 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
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
Ultraviolet spectra of Comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) were obtained near its perihelion from the SOLar-STellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). These measurements in March and April 1997 are used to derive water and carbon production rates f
