The authors have utilized long slit CCD spectrophotometry of comet P/Halley in the visible region to measure the production rate of atomic oxygen during the 1985/86 apparition. The observations cover a large range of heliocentric distances, since our technique is applicable to both apparently bright and faint comets. The cometary gas production rate for P/Halley increased rapidly with decreasing heliocentric distance toward perihelion and was systematically larger at a given heliocentric distance for the post-perihelion observations. The average production rate for O1D on the day of the Giotto fly-bye was 4×1028atoms s-1, giving an extrapolated total water production rate of 6×1029mols s-1. The authors briefly discuss a method for comparing the absolute cometary gas production rates for different comets.
