Comets: Individual: Comet Austin 1990 V

Scientific paper

The development of the plasma tail of comet Austin 1990 V on four consecutive CCD-images on May 6 1990 (Bonev & Jockers 1994) looks strikingly similar to the results of timedependent three-dimensional MHD calculations modeling the effect of a sudden rotation of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) by 90deg (Rauer et al. 1995). Assuming that the changes in comet Austin's tail were in fact generated by a sudden rotation of the IMF one can infer the three-dimensional structure of the tail under stationary solar wind conditions. The results are discussed and compared with MHD models.
