G., Mogilevsky, M., Riedler, W. and Schwingenschuh, K. (1988). Physical processes in the vicinity of the cometpause interpreted on the basis of plasma, magnetic field, and plasma wave data measured on board the Vega 2 spacecraft. Journal of Geophysical Research 93: doi: 10.1029/88JA01225. issn: 0148-0227.

This paper presents the first step toward a comprehensive interpretation of the plasma, electric, and magnetic field measurements performed by four different instruments near the cometpause of Halley's comet. No flow parameter displays any drastic variation at this boundary which separates two environments with different chemical composition. A fire hose instability is possibly developing near the cometpause where the number of cometary ions significantly increases. The waves at the lower hybrid frequency and in the whistler range have similar amplitudes. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
