Scientific paper

In a time-dependent three dimensional MHD simulation for cometary plasmas, Schmidt-Voigt (1989) could observe the formation of condensations in the plasma tail after a 90 degree change in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sweeping over the comet. We investigated the IMF measurements of the Vega SC in the vicinity of the comet Halley for 90 degree changes in the clock angle and studied the relation between them and optical observations of condensations in the plasma tail. For the time interval 24 Feb. 86 to 14 Mar. 86, we could not find a correlation between such changes and the release of condensations from the cometary head.
