Millimeter-wave molecular mapping of comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp

The inner solar system passes of the bright comets C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp and C/1996 B2 Hyakutake, coupled with modern, sensitive millimeter-wave instrumentation provided an opportunity to make unprecedented maps of molecular emission from cometary comae.
