11 Nançay observations of OH at 18cm: 1 hour per day from 4 March to 8 June &1-10 July. Detected on ~10days averages from 20 March to 8 June with peak Q H2O ~10 28 molec./s early May. Odin observations of H 2 O at 557 GHz (95 orbits): ~4 orbits every week 18 June – 7 August 2005 Small map on 18 th of June, 33 orbits July 3-5: Q H2O = 3 to 9×10 27 molec./s II - 9P/Tempel 1 target of Deep Impact Monitoring of the water outgassing:

12 1 month monitoring of comet 9P/Tempel 1: Before and after Deep Impact

13 Deep Impact on 9P/Tempel 1: Simulations of H 2 O observed by Odin First hypothesis: Big outburst of 11×10 32 molec. Lasting 1h (½ FWHM gaussian) (30000 tons of water – 2 days of activity or volume of a 100×30m crater, 50% ice; Qpeak×40 )  not seen Isotropic outgassing at 0.7 km/s Impact+67s from DI © NASA/JPL

14 H 2 O outgassing observed by Odin: nothing more than ~20% increase? Second hypothesis: ±isotropic "normal" outgassing + 15h burst (Qp+30%, total ~4000 tons) in a narrow jet in the plane of the sky to simulate the narrow peak > 0.24 K at 0 km/s.  Total Q H2O : +20% at impact + 1 day

15 Context of impact: ground based observations of 9P/Tempel 1 IRAM-30m (and CSO) observations: [1] daily monitoring 4.7 – 9.8 May: 1.7 day periodicity of Q HCN [2] daily monitoring 2.7 – 10.9 July: small increase of HCN and CH 3 OH line intensity and width lasting over a day following impact: Impact+50min from DI © NASA/JPL

16 IMPACT: IRAM-30m: HCN lines broader and slightly stronger on July 4.8 and 5.8, compared to July 2-3 and 6-10: new jet at ~1.2 km/s at +15-40h? (Seen also on CH 3 OH)

17 IMPACT: SUMMARY Odin: No big outburst of H 2 O, but perhaps a small jet in the plane of the sky (~4000 tons in 15h) IRAM and CSO (only upper limit on CH 3 OH at CSO):  No significant outburst just after impact but possible increase by 1.5 to 2.5 of HCN and CH 3 OH production rate (and abundance) – model dependent, especially on assumed temperature.  New jet at ~1.2 km/s towards the Sun/Earth: not seen in H 2 O?!  Need for a 4D model: 3 space dimensions (jet) and time-dependent for accurate interpretation, especially for optically thick H 2 O line at 557GHz. But limited S/N cannot provide good constraints on the parameters…  Need to discriminate impact effect from periodic variations (~40h in May) 9P/Tempel 1: Molecular abundances relative to water CH 3 OH 1.7±0.5% 3.2%7.2%*<2.7% 5-9 May 2.7-3.7 4.8 July 6-11 July HCN 0.08 ± 0.01%0.13%0.17%*0.09% * Assuming increase of Temp.
