Scientific paper

Waveform electric field APV-N data from Vega-2 during fly-by of Halley's comet coma were analyzed to explore the dust distribution. The effective area of dust registration is estimated by electric field sensors; the mass spectrum of dust is estimated by comparison of electric field data with that of dust counter SP-1 and the results of laboratory experiments. The effective area of the dust registration by electric probes is of the order of 0.01/sqm. The estimate of the dust mass spectrum may be obtained in the mass range of the order of 10 to the minus 18th to minus 15th power g from APV-N electric field data at distances 100,000 to 300,000 km. There is a light dust component at distances 300,000 to 400,000 km.
