摘要
The infrared spectrum of Comet Hale-Bopp over the wavelength range 7.5 to 45 micrometers, obtained when it was at a heliocentric distance of 2.9 AU, is shown to be consistent with a model dominated by a mixed microbial culture including diatoms with an approximately 10% mass contribution from crystalline olivine. Crystalline olivine by itself is unable to account for the data.
