The dust tail of P/Halley exhibited striations indicative of periodic outbursts from the nucleus. Images of P/Halley in February, March, and April of 1986 from the International Halley Watch Large Scale Phenomena Network CD-ROM archive were analyzed using a Monte Carlo numerical simulation program. A preliminary analysis using synchrones indicates the existance of two separate periodic emission events each of which has a period of about 7 days. The events are separated from each other by approximately 2 days. Detailed modeling shows that the periods and relative strengths of the dust tail features can be modeled by either two separate jets on an almost purely rotating nucleus or a single jet on a strongly precessing nucleus.
