Ultraviolet spectroscopy of comets
Abstract
The advantages of the space shuttle being used as an observing platform with advanced instrumentation for the study of comets are discussed. The ground-based observations of the comet West (1976) were used to illustrate the many problems caused by the Earth's atmosphere. The spectrum of comet Bennett (1970 II) was compared to that the of comet West in order to correct instrument errors.
