Co-author Rubén Sánchez-Janssen highlights that tracking ion ratios along the comet's tail—showing only a marginal drop in hydrocarbon ions with distance—is the first time this level of detail has been captured for an interstellar object, crediting the WEAVE-LIFU instrument and a Director's Discretionary Time allocation.

“Powerful, large-format IFUs with high sensitivity in the blue optical spectrum – like WEAVE-LIFU on the WHT – are opening new frontiers for the study of comets and other solar system objects.”
