Scientific paper

Comet Halley was observed whenever it was above -34° declination from 1985 Oct. 5 to 1986 March 26 with a 26 m parabolic antenna and an autocorrelation spectrometer. Spectra covered the velocity range ±5.6 km s-1 with a resolution of 0.18 km s-1. A Gaussian curve was fitted to each daily averaged spectrum to determine peak flux, width and velocity of the 1.667 GHz line whenever signal-to-noise ratio permitted. A plot of peak line flux density against time shows frequent outbursts superimposed on slow variations. Preliminary comparisons with other radio and infrared observations have been made.
