Scientific paper
Measurements made by the three-dimensional electron spectrometer aboard the Giotto spacecraft describe the complex interaction between comet Halley and the solar wind. As Giotto approached the comet, it traversed several regions of differing plasma characteristics: a large (≡107km) upstream region, a foreshock, a bow wave with its apex at ≡4x105km, a transition region, a region permanently and strongly contaminated by cometary ions, a collisionopause at a sub-solar distance of ≡5 - 6x104km, and various inner regions up to the inner coma.
