RESEARCH ON RELATIONS BETWEEN COMETARY, SOLAR AND UPPER ATMOSPHERIC PROCESSES.

Abstract

Laboratory work was carried on: the time resolution of spectra; the spectra of several molecules of astronomical interest; various instruments; the study of photomultipliers. The physical mechanisms in comets were further discussed. Other programs of cometary and solar investigations were started. Investigations related to space experiments are mainly concerned with the far ultraviolet spectra of stars, comets and aurorae, and with artificial comets. Preparations are being made for a search for faint comets at the 1965 airborne solar eclipse expedition. (Author)
