Scientific paper

The images of Halley which were obtained by the Halley Multicolour Camera have been used to determine the projected size and shape of the nucleus. The location of the terminator and numerous surface features have been determined. There is good correlation between the brightest surface features and the dust jets; however, many bright features are seen which are not associated with jets. Most of the observed features are circular and appear to be related to surface elevation. The angularity of the terminator gives an indication of the three-dimensional structure of the face which was observed.
