The UV spectrum of comet P/Halley (1982 i) was monitored with the IUE at regular time intervals. A complete characterization of the UV spectrum of the comet was obtained to derive coma abundances and to study the light emission mechanisms of the observed species. The Fine Error Sensor (FES) camera of the IUE was used to investigate the coma brightness variability on short time scales. Spectroscopic observations as well as FES measurements show that the comet nucleus activity was highly variable.
