Detection of OH maser emission from comet Giacobini-Zinner
Abstract
The authors have detected OH maser radiation from the comet Giacobini-Zinner using the Parkes radio telescope. The emission was detected in two transitions of the ground state of OH, at an intensity consistent with the predicted OH molecular production rate.
