Scientific paper

Near-infrared spectroscopy and photometry was obtained of comet Halley in December 1985 when its heliocentric distance was 1.19 AU. No water ice absorption or molecular band emission were observed. The interstellar 3.3-micron emission band was also not observed. The 3-micron spectrum of comet Halley consisted of scattered sunlight at wavelengths less than 3.1 microns and of thermal emission by dust at longer wavelengths.
