Catalog of cometary emission lines

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Using high-resolution spectra obtained with the Hamilton echelle spectrograph at Lick Observatory, we have constructed a catalog of emission lines observed in comets Swift-Tuttle and Brorsen-Metcalf.

Description

The spectra cover the range between 3800A and 9900A with a spectral resolution of {lambda}/{DELTA}{lambda}~42000. In the spectra, we catalog 2997 emission lines of which we identify 2438.

We find cometary lines due to H, O, C2, CN, NH2, C3, H2O+, CH, and CH+. We list 559 unidentified lines compiled from the two spectra and comment on possibilities for their origins.
