Description
The space-age view of cometary physics and chemistry is dealt with in this book. It presents in detail current knowledge of comets, based on the scientific data from the spacecraft missions of 1986 to Halley's Comet. Nucleus, neutral coma, plasma, dust and the origin and evolution of comets are treated in chapters written by leading experts in the field. The book is intended as a reference source for advanced students and researchers in space physics, planetology, geophysics and cosmochemistry.
