Scientific paper

Most cometary ions observed in the visible range are the ions of presumed mother molecules like H2O, CO, CO2, and N2. After reviewing the emissions of these ions, an overview of present understanding of the comet-solar wind interaction is given. Modulation effects on the different ions introduced by a change in solar-wind flux are studied. Further topics include the general structure of the ion tail, tail rays, and large-scale tail disturbances (tail disconnections). Recommendations for future ground-based observations are given.
