Coma Abundances of Volatiles at Small Heliocentric Distances: Compositional Measurements of Long-period Comet C/2020 S3 (Erasmus)

We report production rates of H _2 O and nine trace molecules (C _2 H _6 , CH _4 , H _2 CO, CH _3 OH, HCN, NH _3 , C _2 H _2 , OCS, and CO) in long-period comet C/2020 S3 (Erasmus) using the high-resolution, cross-dispersed infrared spectrograph (iSHELL) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, on t...
