Scientific paper

Data obtained during the Vega-1, Vega-2, and Giotto encounters with Comet Halley are analyzed in an attempt to establish a new model for the cometary nucleus and its interaction with the solar wind. it is believed that, in the case of P/Halley, there are two kinds of cometary surfaces: the first is a hot inactive crust impervious to volatiles, while the second is a fresh cometary material rich in volatiles. It is concluded that, by composition, P/Halley belongs to the earth's solar system. The plasma environment is described in detail.
