The Giotto spacecraft carried two different instruments - the JPA and the IMS - for the observation of hot ions in the coma of P/Halley. Although there are many similarities in the time and distance profiles of the plasma flow parameters (bulk velocity, number density, and temperature) computed from the two data sets, there are also some significa…
