Scientific paper

The authors have analyzed CCD images of comet Halley taken in the light of CO+ and H2O+. They find that most of the ionic emission originates in a diffuse component on which the ion ray structure appears to be superimposed. On average, the peak enhancement in the CO+ rays is 20% over the adjacent minima, where the emission is due to the underlying component. They find that the H2O+:CO+ ratio varies by as much as 30% from ray to ray.
