Scientific paper

Extensive photography was conducted on comet Giacobini-Zinner in support of the flyby of the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) through the plasma tail on 9/11/85, and a dense series of plates was secured of Halley's Comet during the 7-month interval approximately centered on perihelion, i.e., 1985 November - 1986 May. The hundreds of high quality plates of Halley contain copious numbers of dramatic plasma events, including DE's, helical waves, and turning tail rays. Initial study of the plate material lends support to the magnetic sector boundary model of DE's developed by Niedner and Brandt.
