Scientific paper

The tail event observed by Brandt et al. (1980) in comet Bradfield 1979 X on 1980 February 6 is shown to be due to an interplanetary solar wind disturbance detected aboard Helios 2 and on Earth. Helios 2 was at 0.15 AU from the comet. The tail follows the bulk direction of the solar wind. Acceleration of cometary ions seems to result from small scale hydrodynamic instabilities. Cometary ion density and temperature are deduced.
