Abstract A preliminary analysis of the dust emission from comet Halley is presented based on large scale observations of its dust tail. Selected images obtained between February 22 and May 10, 1986 are compared to synchrone-syndyne graphs to infer the history of the dust production and the properties of the dust, at least qualitatively. Quantitative modeling of the dust tall has also been initiated and preliminary results are shown for the cases of isotropic and anisotropic (jet) dust production.
