“…MUSE benefits from a large wavelength coverage, from 4800 to 9300 Å, and a resolving power about 3000. Observations of comets using IFUs have already been performed in the past (Dorman et al 2013;Vaughan et al 2017), but MUSE has the advantage of being attached to an 8-m telescope.…”

We present the first observations of outbursting comet C/2015 ER61 (PANSTARRS) with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). The comet was observed on April 9, 2017, only five days after it underwent a significant outburst during which the total brightness increased by a factor of ~7.5. Based on the MUSE observations, we produce simultaneous maps of the CN, C2, NH2 comae, and the dust coma. In turn, we applied image enhancement techniques in order to reveal features in the coma. By comparing the coma morphology for the dust and CN, C2, and NH2, we investigate the release mechanism of those gas species in the coma of comet ER61. We present evidence that NH2 could be released by icy or organic-rich dust grains.
