Scientific paper

Numerical simulation results for the solar wind interaction with a weak comet at different heliocentric distances are presented. The different features of the plasma environment, such as the structured cycloidal tail and non-linear Mach cones typical for weak comets and their relation to structures like shocklets, bow shock, diamagnetic cavity and the ``classical'' magnetotail formed at stronger comets are discussed. The detailed theoretical investigations of weakly outgassing bodies are of interest for the interpretation of measurements at Borelli and future data from comet Wirtanen, which serves as a typical example. For this purpose a three dimensional hybrid code using curvilinear coordinates was developed. Some numerical techniques are briefly introduced.
