Pre-perihelion evolution of the NiI/FeI abundance ratio in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. From extreme to normal

Damien Hutsemékers, Jean Manfroid, Emmanuël Jehin, 2025. A&A 706, A43.

VLT UVES/X-shooter 3.14-1.85 au: Ni I at all epochs, Fe I only <2.64 au; Ni/Fe extreme early then normal; total Ni+Fe production >=10x other comets; carbonyl (Ni(CO)4, Fe(CO)5) release favoured.
