Scientific paper

Theoretical predictions of the expected Lyman-alpha emission from the hydrogen coma of Comet Halley, as seen from earth and Venus orbits, are presented for selected dates during 1985-1986 when the Comet is within 2 AU of the sun. Lyman-alpha isophotes, isochrones, and isotachs for hydrogen atoms with mean outflow velocities of 8 and 20 km/s are shown. Recommendations for scaling to Lyman-beta and Balmer-alpha are given.
