摘要：

We present observations of the 1(10)-1(01) ortho-water ground-state rotational transition in comet 9P/Tempel 1 made with the NASA Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS). The SWAS monitoring covered a 3-month period from June to August 2005 and included observations of the comet's activity during the collision of the Deep Impact spacecraft with the nucleus on 4 July 2005. No excess emission from the material ejected by the impactor was detected and we derive an upper limit; of 1.8 x 10(7) kg on the vaporized water ice. However, the water production rate of the comet shows large natural variations of up to a factor of three throughout the 3-month monitoring period. The total amount of water vaporized between 5 June and 1 September 2005 is 4.5 x 10(34) molecules (similar to 1.3 x 10(9) kg) and we estimate that 9P/Tempel 1. has lost as much as N similar to 10(35) molecules during its 2005 apparition.
