Extract
We report here the detection of the J 1-0 rotational line at 88.6 GHz of hydrogen cyanide in comet Halley. Six observational runs were made in the Nov. 19-Dec. 3 1985 period with the IRAM 30-m millimetre radio telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain), when the comet was at rh ~ 1.56 AU from the Sun and Δ ~ 0.63 AU from the Earth.
