A rotational-state population analysis of the high-resolution IUE observation of CS emission in comet P/HalleyThe high resolution spectrum of comet P/Halley has been measured in the region of the CS emission. CS in comet Halley is produced by photodissociation of CS2 and subsequently reexcited by broad band solar radiation. An inversion procedure is introduced to extract the rotational population distribution from the dispersed fluorescence spectrum. Intensity anomalies in the wavelength region corresponding to P and Q branch emission are considered.
