Scientific paper

The tail event oberved by Brandt et. al (1980) on comet Bradfield 1979 X on 1980 February 6 is shown to be due to an interplanetary solar wind disturbance detected by instruments aboard Helios 2 and at earth. The spacecraft was at 0.15 AU from the comet. The tail follows the bulk orientation of solar wind. Acceleration of cometary ions seems to result from small scale hydrodydnamic instabilities. Cometary ion density and temperature are deduced.
