Abstract
- An extended jet source from vent 1 of Halley's comet causes CO distribution in the coma of the comet. The CO distribution is obtained from measurements made by the neutral gas mass spectrometer on the Giotto spacecraft. The extended jet source causes only two-thirds of the CO distribution and the remaining is caused by direct CO sublimation at the cometary nucleus.
