Scientific paper

Observations obtained during various P/Halley missions are discussed within the framework of an eruption theory that assumes that most of the minor bodies in the inner solar system have been formed in the explosions of the ices saturated by the products of their electrolysis. The present theory is able to account for such phenomena as the strongly collimated dust-carrying jets, the outflow from the nucleus of large amounts of CO, and the presence near the nucleus of free atomic and ionized carbon. The theory can also explain the discrepancy between the observed velocity and temperature of the streams and the predictions of purely sublimation-type models.
