Description
We review our search program for microwave line transition in comet Kohoutek. Observations in the 3-mm wavelength region were carried out before perihelion from 15 to 20 December 1973 and after perihelion from 3 to 7 January 1974. During these times the comet was between rapprox. =0.3 and 0.5 AU heliocentric distance. Gas production rates of HCN are several times 10/sup 27/ to approx.10/sup 28/ molecules sec/sup -1/ at rapprox. =0.4 AU. Upper limits for CH3CN and several other molecules are given
