- W2959020867 abstract "Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) has a peculiar volatile composition, with CO being the dominant volatile as opposed to H$_2$O and one of the largest N$_2$/CO ratios ever observed in a comet. Using observations obtained with the textit{Spitzer Space Telescope}, NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, the 3.5-meter ARC telescope at Apache Point Observatory, the Discovery Channel Telescope at Lowell Observatory, and the Arizona Radio Observatory 10-m Submillimeter Telescope we quantified the abundances of 12 different species in the coma of R2 PanSTARRS. We confirm the high abundances of CO and N$_2$ and heavy depletions of H$_2$O, HCN, CH$_3$OH, and H$_2$CO compared to CO reported by previous studies. We provide the first measurements (or most sensitive measurements/constraints) on H$_2$O, CO$_2$, CH$_4$, C$_2$H$_6$, OCS, C$_2$H$_2$, and NH$_3$, all of which are depleted relative to CO by at least one to two orders of magnitude compared to values commonly observed in comets. The observed species also show strong enhancements relative to H$_2$O, and even when compared to other species like CH$_4$ or CH$_3$OH most species show deviations from typical comets by at least a factor of two to three. The only mixing ratios found to be close to typical are CH$_3$OH/CO$_2$ and CH$_3$OH/CH$_4$. While R2 PanSTARRS was located at a heliocentric distance of 2.8 AU at the time of our observations in January/February 2018, we argue that this alone cannot account for the peculiar observed composition of this comet and therefore must reflect its intrinsic composition. We discuss possible implications for this clear outlier in compositional studies of comets obtained to date, and encourage future dynamical and chemical modeling in order to better understand what the composition of R2 PanSTARRS tells us about the early Solar System." @default.
