Scientific paper

Probe observations of the solar wind/Comet Halley interaction have shown the existence of a magnetized cometary plasma in the vicinity of the comet. This plasma region resembles the magnetized planetary plasma observed in the daytime Venus ionosphere when the dynamic pressure of the impinging solar wind exceeds the maximum pressure of the ionospheric plasma. Despite differences in detail, the magnetic-field penetration through the ionopause on Venus and the magnetic-field penetration through the cometopause at Comet Halley appear to be due to similar charge-exchange and photoionization processes.
