Descripción
The authors present maps of a 3arcmin×2arcmin region of the inner coma of comet P/Halley, at 10arcsec resolution, in CN (3883 Å); C2 (5100 Å); C3 (4040 Å); CN (4216 Å); NH2 (6107 Å); [O I] (6300 Å) and CH (4322 Å). The maps were prepared from multi-position absolute spectrophotometry of comet Halley, with 3.6 Å resolution, in the wavelength range 3700 - 7598 Å, using the 2.5-m "Isaac Newton Telescope" in La Palma, Spain. This data represents a sub-set of a larger database of mapping at a range of heliocentric distances.
