- W4220786415 abstract "Context. Abundance ratios of the nuclear-spin isomers of H 2 O and NH 3 have been measured in about two dozen comets, with a mean value corresponding to a nuclear-spin temperature of ~30 K. The real meaning of these unequilibrated nuclear-spin abundance ratios is still debated. However, an equilibrated water ortho-to-para ratio of 3 is also commonly observed. Aims. The H channel of the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS-H) on board Rosetta provided high-resolution 2.5–2.9 μm spectra of H 2 O vapour in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), which are suitable for the determination of the ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) of water in this comet. Methods. A large dataset of VIRTIS-H spectra obtained in limb-sounding viewing geometry was analysed, covering heliocentric distances from 1.24 to 2.73 au and altitudes from a few hundred metres to > 100 km. The OPR, together with the H 2 O rotational temperature and column density, were derived for each spectra using a database of fluorescence synthetic spectra that include both fundamental and hot vibrational water bands. The weak lines of the v 1 , v 1 + v 3 − v 1 and v 2 + v 3 − v 2 bands in the 2.774–2.910 μm range were used to calculate by how much the strong v 3 band centred at 2.67 μm is attenuated due to optical depth effects, expressed by the attenuation factor f atten . Results. Most ortho-to-para ratio determinations are strongly affected by opacity effects, as demonstrated by the observed anti-correlation between the OPR and the column density, and the correlation between the OPR and attenuation factor f atten . Based on both radiative transfer calculations and OPR values obtained in low-opacity conditions, we derive an OPR of 2.94 ± 0.06 for comet 67P. Measured water rotational temperatures show a decrease in gas kinetic temperature with increasing altitude caused by adiabatic cooling. Heliocentric variations are also observed, with warmer temperatures near perihelion. Conclusions. The water ortho-to-para ratio measured in the coma of 67P is consistent with laboratory experiments showing that water vapour that has thermally desorbed from water ice has a statistical value of 3, regardless of the past formation process of water ice." @default.
