Diffuse matter in the solar system: Comet Halley and other studies; Proceedings of the Meeting, London, England, May 21, 22, 1986
Abstract
The characteristics of comets and other diffuse matter in the solar system are discussed, reviewing the results of recent observational and theoretical investigations. Topics addressed include nucleosynthesis contributions to the solar nebula; interstellar molecules; local and exotic components of primitive meteorites and their origin; morphological, mineralogical, and chemical studies of cometary dust; and the dynamical relation between asteroids, meteorites, and Apollo-Amor objects. Consideration is given to the history of Comet Halley, earth-based observations of Comet Halley dust and gas, Giotto observations of Comet Halley dust, ICE observations of Comet Giacobini-Zinner, and the origin of dust in the solar system.
