Summary
Based on the measurements of the ion electrostatic analyzer CRA of the Plasmag-1 instrument on board Vega-2, which was oriented along the spacecraft-comet relative velocity direction, we present observations (1) of quasi-periodic features in the intensity of cometry ions occurring inside the cometopause, (2) of the mass composition of the cometary ions in the mass range of 1 to 100 atomic mass units (amu), and (3) of the radial dependence of the density of certain, well-defined groups of cometary ions.
