Scientific paper

Large-scale plasma phenomena based on results of spacecraft probing of comets Halley and Giacobini-Zinner and on International Halley Watch are discussed. The data show that: the basic mechanism for the comets' interaction with the solar wind (Alfven, 1957) is correct; that the turn-on and turn-off of plasma activity follows the description of Mendis and Flammer (1984); and that disconnection events are associated with sector boundary crossings and an essential element in the morphology of developed plasma tails (Niedner and Brandt, 1978).
