Abstract
We have adapted Coupled Escape Probability, a new exact method of
solving radiative transfer problems, for use in asymmetrical
spherical situations. Our model is intended specifically for use in
modeling optically thick cometary comae, although not limited to
such use. This method enables the accurate modeling of comets'
spectra even in the potentially optically thick regions nearest the
nucleus, such as those seen in Deep Impact observations of
9P/Tempel 1 and EPOXI observations of 103P/Hartley 2.
