Scientific paper

Giotto magnetic field data have been used to analyze the macroscopic field structure in the vicinity of P/Halley. During the Giotto flyby at comet P/Halley the IMF showed a quite stable away polarity. Draping of magnetic field lines is clearly observed along the outbound leg of the trajectory. Inside the magnetic pile-up region the field reverses its polarity several times. A symmetry of oppositely magnetized sheets with respect to the nucleus is found and explained in terms of convected IMF features.
