X-rays from comets originate in charge exchange between heavy ions of the solar wind and cometary species. Spectra of nine comets observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) are analyzed using the time-dependent instrument sensitivity and the energy-dependent spectral resolution. X-ray emissions are extracted from the spectra in the range of 150–1100 eV using the v 2 -fitting. Production of X-rays varies in the observed comets by a factor of 500 from 4.4 � 10
