During the encounter between the ICE spacecraft and Comet Giacobini-Zinner, intense fluxes of energetic heavy ions were observed up to 4 x 10 to the 6th km from the comet. In this paper the authors correlated observations of heavy ions, the solar wind velocity and the magnetic field direction, and compare the observations of the ions with the theoretical predictions for their variations with distance from the comet, wih the solar wind velocity and with the magnetic field direction.
