Scientific paper

X-ray emission from comets is now a well established phenomenon. During the last years a lot of evidence has emerged that the dominant mechanism is charge exchange between heavy solar wind ions and cometary neutrals. The recent Chandra ACIS-S observation of Comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) has provided the final proof. Measurements of solar wind parameters, however, have never been made sufficiently near to a comet to allow a direct comparison with the X-ray flux. The recent decision of NASA to extend the Deep Space 1 mission for a rendezvous with comet 19P/Borrelly in Sept 2001 opens, for the first time ever, the unique opportunity to combine in-situ measurements of the solar wind properties at a comet with simultaneous X-ray observations.
