Scientific paper

Slit spectra of Halley's comet were recorded during the months of November and December 1985 at Mt. Terksol Observatory of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences' Main Astronomical Observatory. Spectral energy distributions, surface brightnesses in molecular bands, and column densities were determined. Time variations were considered for two homogeneous series of the spectra. It is shown that, in the comet burst on November 21, 1985, both continuum and molecular emissions were enhanced. A discrepancy is noted between observed Swan band intensity ratios and those obtained using detailed calculations of resonance fluorescence.
