Comparison of Wave Energy Transport at the Comets p/Halley and p/Giacobini-Zinner

Abstract

Using magnetic field, plasma density and flow observations from spacecraft flybys of two comets, El䳳er variables are determined in order to study wave propogation directions. We investigate the inbound path of the Giotto spacecraft flyby of comet p/Halley outside the bow shock, and the inbound and outbound path of the ICE spacecraft flyby of comet p/Giacobini-Zinner outsinde of the bow wave.
