Scientific paper

A strong outburst with a southward jet was reported for P/Halley on Dec. 12, 1985. If the northern structure is considered as the folding ray, the enhancement of ion density in the southward ray is less than 10 percent. The enhancement is limited to 400,000 km from the nucleus in this case. The ion increase in this ray may be evidence that an inhomogeneous mass-ejection-type jet phenomenon leads to the asymmetric enhancement of the ion ray.
