“…The ion mass spectra of the coma of comet Halley are richly complex, as illustrated by the early results published by Balsiger et al (1986). In this paper we concentrate on the most abundant group of ions in Halley ion mass spectra; the group with masses between 12 and 19 amu.…”

“…We focus on an analysis of ion processes inside the contact surface (along the Giotto trajectory, -4600 km from the nucleus; Balsiger et al 1986) where the ion chemistry is relatively straightforward, and where photoionization is the dominant ionization process. Also, ion flow is predominantly radial in this region, which simplifies the model analysis.…”

“…The new D/H exchange mechanism proceeds through the formation of an excited mono-deuterated hydronium state, H 2 DO * (possibly ionic), which subsequently dissociates to HDO or OD through preferential loss of collisionally excited O-H bonds. Hydronium ions (H 3 O + and H 2 DO + ) have been detected in comae, e.g., 1P/Halley (Balsiger et al 1986(Balsiger et al , 1995, and have several transitions that make them great candidates for remote spectroscopic evaluation of the water D/H ratio. H 3 O + ions have also been detected in the 67P coma about 30 km from the nucleus between 3.09 and 2.8 au (Fuselier et al 2015).…”
