Scientific paper
Terrestrial and near-earth measurements are examined in order to investigate possible solar wind sources for the sudden global brightenings noted in Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock. These brightenings are not found to be associated with increases in the solar wind momentum flux, quantity of solar energetic particles, or solar activity, in contradiction to the proposal of Lutz and Wagner (1986). If a radial alignment of the IMF seen at IMP-8 after about 0800 UT was not responsible for the cometary brightening, then it is suggested that the brightening must have been intrinsic to the comet.
