Scientific paper

The progress of Comet Halley near perihelion was monitored in the IR between December 24, 1985 and March 3, 1986 using the 1-m La Silla ESO telescope. The broad band flux distribution is similar to those found in comets Bennett, Kohoutek, and Bradfield. The detected rapid variations in mass-loss rate are probably due in part to the elongated shape of the nucleus, and in part to inhomogeneities in the composition of the nucleus.
