AST-9615610 F. Peter Schloerb The primary goal of this project is to observe the evolution of gases produced by volatile ices in the nucleus of Comet Hale- Bopp. A series of regular observations of the submillimeter lines of a number of cometary volatiles is underway at the James Clerk Maxwell telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. This work will continue through perihelion of the comet in 1997 until the comet receeds past 6 astronomical units in order to study the nature of the gases produced at different heliocentric distances. This award is supported jointly by the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at NSF. =================================

这个项目的主要目标是观察海尔-波普彗星核心挥发性冰产生的气体的演化。位于夏威夷莫纳克亚的詹姆斯·克莱克·麦克斯韦望远镜正在对一些彗星挥发物的亚毫米线进行一系列定期观测。这项工作将在1997年通过彗星的近日点继续进行，直到彗星返回超过6个天文单位，以便研究在不同日心距离产生的气体的性质。该奖项由天文科学部和国家科学基金会数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室联合支持。=
