Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Modeling of Ammonia in Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)

Ammonia (NH _3 ), likely the most abundant nitrogen-bearing molecule in cometary ices followed by hydrogen cyanide, is believed to be stored in the nucleus predominantly as a parent ice. However, spatial profiles of NH _3 observed in comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) in the near-infrared region are consiste...
