Observations of Halley's Comet [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 1910
I SAW Halley's comet through field-glasses on Sunday morning, April 24, at 3.40. It was then about 10° above the horizon, 20° to the left of Venus, and slightly under it. It was very distinct from 4.0 to 4.20. At its best, 4.15, I could just distinguish the head by the naked eye, but only for a minute.

Halley's comet [PDF]

open access: goldNature, 1910
I DO not know if the enclosed is of any general interest or not; it is an attempt to photograph Halley's comet (as seen here) without any special apparatus. The tail was about 90° long on May 17, and probably 115° on May 18, taking the calculated position of the nucleus, which had not risen when dawn came.

Visibility of Halley's Comet [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 1909
THE discovery of Halley's comet at a time so far preceding the date of perihelion passage adds another proof of the great capacity of the photographic method. The interesting point to many observers is as to when the comet will become visible to them as a telescopic object.

Propagation of nonlinear waves in multi-component pair plasmas and electron–positron–ion plasmas

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2022
The propagation of small amplitude stationary profile nonlinear solitary waves in a pair plasma is investigated by employing the reductive perturbation technique via the well-known Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) equations.
