Scientific paper

Using the 3.8 m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, infrared observations of comet P/Halley were planned for the whole of its apparition. In December 1984 the first infrared detection was made indicating the presence of a dust coma at over 5 A.U. Since then a programme of infrared photometry and mapping from 1 to 20 microns and some spectroscopy and polarimetry to characterise the properties of the dust comae of both P/Halley and P/Giacobini-Zinner has continued. Some of the observations are discussed with reference to the observational and calibration problems associated with infrared photometry of comets.
