Organics in Comets: Radio Observations of Comet C/2007 N3 (Lulin)We used the Kitt Peak 12m (KP12M) and the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) of the Arizona Radio Observatory to observe comet C/2007 N3 (Lulin). Several molecules (e.g. H2CO, HCN and CS) were clearly detected throughout the observing run. Searches were made for new molecules and cyclopropenylidene (c-C3H2) emission was detected for the first time in a comet.
