P/Halley, the Model Comet, in View of the Imaging Experiment Aboard the Vega Spacecraft
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract.
In this paper, those results of the VEGA imaging experiments are summarized that probably have general validity for any comet. Shape, size, surface structure, jet activity, and rotation pattern are considered in this respect. It is pointed out that imaging data provide indispensable information for an understanding of cometary activity.
