Scientific paper

Energetic particle data on quasi-periodic variations of cometary ion fluxes recorded by instrumentation aboard the Vega 1 and Giotto spacecraft during March 1986 are compared. It is suggested that the ion fluxes measured by the Giotto EPONA instrument were of the water group. Large fluxes of electrons and ions recorded by the EPONA instrument in the magnetic cavity appear to be cometary in origin.
