Large dust particles along the Giotto trajectory

Keller, H. U.; Curdt, W.

Images of Comet Halley taken by the Halley Multicolour Camera (HMC) onboard ESA's Giotto spacecraft provide highly accurate information on the viewing direction. As a part of the spacecraft dynamical system, HMC was very sensitive to attitude variations that occurred during the final approach phase. HMC identified several discrete events that were…

Overview of recent analysis of the energetic particle observations recorded in Situ by the EPONA instrument on the Giotto Mission to Comet Halley

Neubauer, F. M.; Daly, P.; McKenna-Lawlor, S. M. P. +4 more

Highlights of recent results obtained through analyzing data recorded by the energetic particles experiment EPONA on the Giotto Mission to Comet Halley (March 12-15, 1986) from ∼7 × 10 ⁶ km upstream of the bow shock (inbound) to ∼6 × 10 ⁶ km upstream of the bow shock (outbound) are presented. The identities of the ions record…
