Abstract :
The RT-22 allowed starting investigation of comets in the OH line at the wavelength of 18 cm. Observations of 9P/Tempel1 and Lulin C/2007 N3 comets have been performed, and an original technique for observation data analysis has been developed. The gas production (OH) has been estimated. We plan to continue our program of monitoring the OH radiation of bright comets with the RT-22 radio telescope.
