Water main component of cometary nucleus QH 2 O has been estimated from the ground through water high vibrational bands and the OH radical 110–101 ortho-H2O at 557 GHz was observed in several comets by SWAS and Odin Other ortho- and para-H2O, HDO and H18 2 O transitions observed by Herschel (e.g., Hartogh et al. 2010) MIRO has detected H2O, H17 2 O and H18 2 O in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Mean D/H measured in several OCC is 3 × 10−4 Earth ocean (Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water) is 1.56 × 10−4 Protosolar D/H ratio in H2 is 2.5 × 10−5 Cometary D/H ratios represent a factor of ∼ 12 enrichment over the protosolar value and ∼ 2 enrichment over the Earth ocean value D/H enrichment in Enceladus is similar to OCCs From isotopic measurements and dynamical models most probable source of Earth H2 O was ice-rich reservoir in outer asteroid belt Comets could have contributed less than 10% of the Earth water

Assuming VSMOW 16O/18O = 500 ± 50 (520 ± 30 in 4 comets with Odin): (D/H)H 2 O = (1.61 ± 0.24) × 10−4 HDO/H18 2 O production rate ratio is not very sensitive to the model parameters unexpected result: factor of two smaller than in OCCs (2.96 ± 0.25) × 10−4 close to terrestrial VSMOW D/H value (1.558 ± 0.001) × 10−4 larger than the protosolar value (2.1 × 10−5) and the ISM value (1.6 × 10−5) in H2 JFC expected to have higher D/H as they formed in Kuiper belt in colder environment
D/H ratios Oort cloud comets have twice the value of the Earth’s ocean JFC 103P/Hartley 2 and the CI values in carbonaceous chondrites are consistent with VSMOW
in H2O predicted to increase with distance from the Sun (not yet confirmed by observations) 1 103P/Hartley 2 may not come from the Kuiper belt Fraction of JFC originate in the OC Is it a Trojan (Horner et al. 2007) originating near Jupiter? Perhaps OCCs did not form in the vicinity of the giant planets or do not represent the solar system (Levison et al. 2010) 2 D/H ratio with heliocentric distance not as expected In the early phase of the solar system formation material was mixed over large distances (Walsh 2011). Region of solar nebula with terrestrial D/H ratio includes the Kuiper belt

2012 HDO/H18 2 O = 0.215 ± 0.023 Using H2 O production rates with 30% extended source D/H = (2.06 ± 0.22) × 10−4 16O/18O = 523 ± 32 Variable T profile and isotropic outgassing v 0.5–0.6 km s−1 Significantly higher than 103P D/H = (1.61 ± 0.24) × 10−4 Only 16O/18O ∼ 300 can reconcile D/H with OCC Uncertainties take into account 5% relative calibration error
value for all OCC Oort-cloud comet 2009 P1 has a D/H ratio that is significantly higher than the value of the Earth’s ocean 16O/18O consistent with terrestrial value
August 2011 No HDO emission detected with D/H < 2 × 10−4 Consistent with Hartley 2 measurement Canonical OCC D/H 3 × 10−4 excluded at 4.5σ Further confirmation of diversity of D/H
with models involving isotopic exchanges: current understanding of deuteration in the solar system, or the formation zone of JFCs, have to be revisited Ices condensed close to the Sun would be more deuterated? e.g., out of equilibirium chemistry at high T H2 /H2 O/OH/H/O (Thi et al. 2010) D/H is not monotonically increasing away from the Sun (Yang et al. 2012) Revisit origin of JFCs and OCCs JFC = Trojans formed in the vicinity of Jupiter? 90% of OCC from other stars in the Sun’s birth cluster (Levison et al. 2010)?
ratio in the OC population Dichotomy between JFC and OCC? Diversity within the two populations expected from the Grand Tack dynamical model involving Saturn and Jupiter inner migration (Walsh et al. 2011) The reservoir of icy bodies with Ocean-like water is larger than previously thought and may include the Kuiper belt based on very small sample much higher fraction of ocean water could have been delivered by comets? Alexander et al. (2012) suggests the bulk D/H in comets might be compatible with the Ocean’s value, considering D-enriched organics
of D/H ratio (3 comets) Rosetta 67P (JFC) ALMA band 8 gives access to the 110–101 line at 464 GHz in bright comets comets require scheduling on a short notice and their emission is extended best suited for compact ALMA configurations autocorrelation mode is most sensitive for HDO detection complementary observations of water in the IR, or UV/radio observations of OH, will be used to obtain accurate water production rates HDO can be observed in the near-IR, or UV for bright comets
110–101 lines HDO (509 GHz) and H18 2 O (548 GHz) detected in 2 objects Ocean like water found for the first time in a JFC High D/H values previously measured in OCCs are not representative of all comets. Findings does not fit present models on origin of cometary material and isotopic fractionation with heliocentric distance Dynamical modelling suggests that population of planetesimals underwent large-scale mixing Isotopic differences in comets may be linked to the chemical diversity observed in JFC and OCC Paradigm of maximum 10% cometary water in hydrosphere based on composition arguments needs to be revisited Further D/H measurements required to increase sample size
