Unusually high CO abundance of the first active interstellar comet
Martin A. Cordiner, Stefanie N. Milam, Nicolas Biver et al., 2020. Nature Astronomy.
ALMA detection of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide in 2I/Borisov with a CO to water ratio far above most Solar System comets, implying formation in a very cold region. Nature Astronomy 4, 861-866.
What it's used for here
2I's composition, the only direct measurement of an interstellar object's volatiles before 3I.
