Comet P/Halley, Comets, Disconnection Events In Comets

Scientific paper

The International Halley Watch Atlas of Large-Scale Phenomena was systematically visually analysed, its 531 images from September 1985 to July 1986 revealed, among other morphological structures, 47 disconnection events (DEs) along the plasma tail of P/Halley.
This work compares the current competitive theories, based on the triggering mechanisms, in order to explain the cyclic phenomena of DEs, i.e., the ion production effects, the pressure effects and the magnetic reconnection effects are analysed.
The distribution of the DEs in time or heliocentric distance presents a bimodal character, possibly associated with the comet´s passage through the magnetic sector boundaries in the interplanetary medium.
The 47 DEs documented in 47 different images allowed the derivation on 19 onsets of DEs, i.e., the time when the comet supposedly crossed a frontier between magnetic sectors of the solar wind.
