Scientific paper

Comet P/Halley has been observed photographically by Bochum observers from 1986 Feb. 17, to Apr. 17. Coma, dust, and plasma tail were recorded with high resolution and wide-field cameras. First results on these matters were published by Celnik et al. (1986), Celnik (1986), and Schlosser et al. (1986). The present paper presents results from a deeper and more refined analysis of the plasma tail dynamics during the observation period. The "Bochum Halley Project" is described in more detail, the instrumentation and the full data base of the whole photographic campaign are summarized. The method of extracting useful data from the photographic images is described. The results concerning plasma tail, neutral coma, and cometary nucleus are presented and some physical conclusions are drawn.
