Very Large Telescope observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS III: High-resolution monitoring of CN and forbidden oxygen emission across the perihelion passage with ESPRESSO

Baltasar Luco, Thomas H. Puzia, Rohan Rahatgaonkar, 2026. A&A 713, A251.

ESPRESSO 1.67-2.45 au: CN index b_pre=-4.62; G/R 0.42 to 0.114; CO2/H2O proxy 0.06-1.06; coma becomes H2O-dominated near perihelion; releases CometSpec and data.
