Scientific paper

Disconnection event (DE) in cometary plasma physics is the regular loss of the entire plasma tail and the growth of the new one. Analysis of a sequence of DEs that occurred 13-18 April, 1986 shows that they correlate well with a magnetic, sector-boundary crossing and a complex magnetic structure in the solar wind with polarity reversals that occurred about one day later. These events are entirely consistent with sunward, magnetic reconnection as the DE mechanism.
