Abstract

Idetified the emission lines in the spectrum of comet C/2004 Q2 (MACHHOLZ), obtained in the region λλ4760÷6580ÅÅ on 15 January, 2005 with the 2-meter telescope of Shamakha AO of NAS of Azerbaijan. In all in a spectrum the lengths of waves are determined for 280 emission lines. Found out 128 emission lines, belonging to the molecule of carbon of C2, 70 – to the molecule of NH2, 3 – to the ions of water of H2O+ and to 3 forbidden lines of atoms of oxygen [OI]. Amount of the unidetified lines are 76.

Keywords: emission spectrum; comet; C/2004 Q2
