Scientific paper

An analysis inter-relating some of the published results of the plasma measurements by the Giotto spacecraft in the inner coma of comet Halley suggests that the formation of the plasma pile-up region at a distance of 10,000 km - 30,000 km may be the result of accumulation of ion density in a stagnant flow region with a sharp electron temperature transition forming a recombination front at about 10,000 km.
