Caption: Figure 10.

Comparative production rates of CO₂ as a function of heliocentric distance in individual comets. SPCs (blue) and LPCs (red) observed by Akari (Ootsubo et al. 2012), Spitzer Space Telescope (Reach et al. 2013), and WISE/NEOWISE are shown with distinguishing symbols, and with their data points connected. The Akari CO and CO₂ production rates were converted to proxy CO₂ rates for comparison with the Spitzer and WISE data sets (see the text).
