Scientific paper

Observational as well as semitheoretical magnetic field profiles have been used to derive self-consistently the plasma conductivity profiles for the ionosphere of Comet Halley. The characteristic diffusion length for the field, according to the present model, is about 28 km; this is in very good agreement with the Giotto spacecraft observations. It is shown that ideal MHD as well as constant conductivity models are not appropriate for the study of dynamical structure of the Halley's ionosphere.
