Scientific paper

Important results have been obtained by the Vega and Giotto missions concerning Comet Halley's gas composition. Water vapor and CO2 have been identified with respective production rates of about 10 to the 30th/s and 10 to the 28th/s. In addition, there is evidence for the presence of hydrocarbons and/or carbonaceous material in large amounts in the immediate vicinity of the nucleus.
