Scientific paper

Photometric measurements of Halley's comet at phases around its recent perigee are presented. Narrow band filters isolating the C2 Swan band emission and a neighboring continuum, besides the standard UBV, have been used with 4 nucleus centered field stops subtending angles between 41arcsec and 1050arcsec. The brightness fluctuations detected, especially conspicuous in C2 and the nearby continuum, indicate a period of 7.3 days. Some evidence for the double peaked nature of the periodic variation is marginally present.
