Predictions of the solar wind interaction with Comet Grigg-Skjellerup [PDF]
The planned encounter of the Giotto spacecraft with comet Grigg-Skjellerup on 10th July 1992 promises to extend our knowledge of the solar wind interaction with comets substantially.

Effects of Comet Encke's Meteoroid Stream on the Seasonal Variation of Mercury's Ca Exosphere
Abstract Mercury's calcium (Ca) exosphere, observed by NASA's MESSENGER mission, exhibits high temperatures (>50000 K) and pronounced seasonal variability, with its source mainly on the dawn side. Enhanced Ca emission near True Anomaly Angle (TAA) ∼25° and ∼150° has been attributed to Comet 2P/Encke meteoroid streams.

Opportunities for ballistic missions to Halley's comet [PDF]
Alternative strategies for ballistic missions to Halley's comet in 1985-86 are described. A large scientific return would be acquired from a ballistic Halley intercept in spite of the high flyby speeds that are associated with this mission mode.

Abstract High‐altitude optical meteors initiating above 150 km are exceedingly rare, with confirmed observations largely confined to the Leonids. Using the Meteor and ionospheric Irregularity Observation System, we recorded a bright 43‐Cassiopeiids fireball with heterogeneous material. It initiated luminously at an exceptional altitude of 157.8 ± $\pm $

Transport of Water in a Transient, Impact‐Generated Atmosphere on Mercury
Abstract Mercury's polar cold traps host water ice deposits that are likely populated with impact‐delivered water via Mercury's exosphere. However, Mercury's near‐sun location experiences an extremely high photodestruction rate that rapidly destroys water with a timescale of only ∼3.5 hr.

The theory of the motion of Halley Comet [PDF]
The theory of the motion of Halley comet has been built using ground optical positional observations of 1682, 1759, 1835, 1910 and 1982–84. The orbital elements of the comet and two coefficients characterizing non-gravitational perturbations were determined precisely as a result of the statistical treatment of the observations.
