Plasma structures in comets P/Halley and Giacobini-Zinner
Abstract
An overview of large-scale plasma phenomena is presented based on results of spacecraft probing of comets Halley and Giacobini-Zinner and on worldwide submissions to the Large-Scale Phenomena Discipline Specialist Team of the International Halley Watch. Examples of tail phenomena and science are presented with emphasis on observed disconnection events. The archive of this material will clearly be very valuable for studying the comet/solar-wind interaction during the 1985-1986 apparition of Halley's comet.
