Abstract The solution of the statistical equilibrium equations for the SO molecule is used to estimate the expected intensities of microwave lines. The observed fluxes of the microwave lines of SO in Comet Hale–Bopp require approximately 1.8 1028 mol/sec which give fluxes in the A3Π - X3Σ−bands below the observable limit, consistent with the observations.
