Scientific paper
The large-scale structure, dynamics, and chemical composition of comets are examined on the basis of preliminary ground-based and space-probe data from the Halley return of 1986. Diagrams, graphs, photographs, and false-color images are provided, and data on Comet Giacobini-Zinner are included for comparison. Features noted include solar-wind interaction with magnetic-field draping around the head region, dramatic disconnection events, an irregularly shaped monolithic primarily water-ice nucleus and a dark surface, and dust with chemical composition like that of (H, C, N, O)-enriched carbonaceous chondrites.
