Abstract
High resolution spectroscopy of the impacts and impact sites of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 in Jupiter has been performed at the Pic-du-Midi ob servatory, France. The transient emission of seven emission lines from five different metals (Na, Fe, Ca, Li, K) and of the H alpha line hav e been identified in spectra from the fresh impact sites of fragments L and and Q(1).
