Abstract
We present spectrophotometric studies of comet Hartley-Good (1985l) in the spectral region λλ3200–7000 Å. The emission features of molecules CN, CH, C2, and C3 are observed. The variation of the emission strength of different species has been studied as a function of heliocentric distance. The abundances (N) and production rates (Q) of the molecules are also estimated.
