Cyanogen $\mathrm{C_2N_2}$挥发带的彗星荧光模型
摘要
Cyanogen () long time suspected to be present in comets and to contribute to the creation of the CN radical. So far no observations with ground-based facilities have managed to detect this species but the Rosetta mission, thanks to in situ observations with the ROSINA mass spectrometer detected this species in the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. To investigate its presence from infrared spectra in other comets, we developed a fluorescence model for the fundamental band. From new laboratory high-resolution infrared spectra of cyanogen, we analyzed the region of the band of \mathrm{C_2N_2}, centered around 4.63 (2158 ). In addition to line positions and intensities, molecular parameters for the ground and excited vibrational state were obtained. These parameters allowed us to develop a fluorescence model for cyanogen. Line-by-line excitation rates of the \nu_3 band of cyanogen in cometary comae are presented. An upper limit of the abundance of cyanogen in a spectrum of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is discussed.
