Scientific paper
The distribution of atomic hydrogen surrounding comet Halley is observed in resonantly scattered solar Lyman-α radiation with the imaging photometer for vacuum-ultraviolet wavelengths on the Earth-orbiting spacecraft Dynamics Explorer 1. Measurements are made of the total Lyman-α flux at Earth due to the cometary neutral hydrogen distribution and the hydrogen production rate determined as a function of heliocentric distance, r. Corrections are made for the finite field-of-view of the photometer and for the ≡700-R background at the spacecraft arising from the presence of geocoronal, interplanetary and galactic hydrogen.
