Imaging the 3.4-micron feature in Comet Levy (1990c)The IRTF's ProtoCAM has been used to observe the organic emission feature peaking near 3.36 microns in Comet Levy. 2D images of the spatial distribution of the 3.4-micron organic emission exhibit brightness profiles statistically indistinguishable from that of the dust continuum, within 1225 of the cometary nucleus; this suggests a progenitor for the emission feature which is not a photodissociation fragment of some other species.
