Earth-Based Observations of Comet Halley Dust and Gas [and Discussion]

Very extensive ground-based observations of P/Halley have now been made, both to provide a standard cometary archive and to help interpret data from the Halley space probes. A number of new results are reported here, of which the most important is probably the major role played by sporadic activity...

Zusammenfassung:	Very extensive ground-based observations of P/Halley have now been made, both to provide a standard cometary archive and to help interpret data from the Halley space probes. A number of new results are reported here, of which the most important is probably the major role played by sporadic activity of the nucleus in the development of the comet.
