Descripción
The paper presents isophotal maps of the distribution of the flux
emitted by transitions of various molecular species in the spectrum of
Comet Halley at a heliocentric distance of 1.92 AU, after perihelion.
The observations were made at the Observatorio del Roque de los
Muchachos, in La Palma, using the RGO Image Photon Counting System
attached to the RGO Cassegrain Spectrograph. This contribution is a part
of a more general program, which aims to study the production rates of a
number of species and its variation with heliocentric distance. To this
end, multiposition spectrophotometry was taken of the comet in the
visible, which extends over a range of heliocentric distances from 1.5
to 5 AU.
