Cometary radio astronomy; Proceedings of the NRAO Workshop, Green Bank, WV, Sept. 24-26, 1986
Papers are presented on the cometary plasma, near-nucleus observations of P/Halley, scintillations of four radio sources occulted by the plasma tail of Comet Halley, and modeling of the excitation of molecules at radio wavelengths and the thermodynamics of the coma. Also considered are observations of HCN in Comet Halley, the search for parent molecules, the search for molecules in Comet Halley at millimeter wavelengths, and the OH radio lines in comets. Other topics include OH radio observations of Comet Halley from the Southern Hemisphere, radio OH observations of P/Halley with the NRAO 43-m telescope, models of the OH 18-cm line profiles of Comet Halley, and the first radio images of OH emission from Comet Halley.
