    Description: It is well recognized and accepted that the interpretation and analysis of any type of remote planetary spectroscopic observation requires that basic molecular parameters be available. Furthermore, the newly developed capabilities of air, ground, and space borne spectrometers trained on bodies in the solar system are producing results which are extremely difficult to understand on the basis of available data. This is particularly true in the case of spectral features arising from gases and volatiles condensed as ices. With the objective to continue to extend the understanding of spectroscopic observations of solar system objects (including comets) , laboratory studies of both gas phase molecules and ices and dusts are proposed.

    Description: Some 34 radio observatories in 18 countries are participating in the Radio Science Net of the International Halley Watch. Approximately 100 radio astronomers are contributing to this effort, which has included observations of comets P/Crommelin and P/Giacobini-Zinner as well as P/Halley. It is clear that the record of data for the 18 cm OH ground state lambda doublet, which provides fundamental information on the gas production rate, kinematics, and potentially the magnetic field in the coma, will be vastly more complete and of higher accuracy than has even been obtained on any previous comet. The coverage by a number of radio observatories will enable short period variations to be studied and correlated with simultaneous data obtained at other wavelengths. Likewise, the first definitive detection of the important parent molecule hydrogen cyanide in a comet was obtained and is being studied by groups in the United States, Sweden, and France. The first detection of the comet with the Very Large Array telescope operated by NRAO was achieved and has produced exciting results for the distribution of emission at high angular resolution from the OH radical. At this writing data are still being obtained and being processed, and there are still strong indications that exciting information will be obtained from radar studies of P/Halley and from searches for additional parent molecules.

    Description: Studies being undertaken in order to interconnect the three principal celestial coordinate systens are reviewed. These systems are the optical frame (FK4/FK5) based on positions of Galactic stars, the planetary/lunar ephemeris frame based on the major celestial bodies of the solar system, and the radio frame constructed from observations of quasars. The optical frame is being connected to the radio frame by VLBI observations of radio-emitting stars, and the radio frame is being tied to the ephemeris frame in several ways; for example, differential VLBI measurements between quasars and planet-orbiting spacecraft. Prospects for future interconnection studies are briefly discussed.

    Description: Twelve planetary nebulae of the 15 surveyed by IUE in the Megellanic Clouds were analyzed. Chemical abundances and other nebular parameters were determined, along with masses for the central stars. The latter are clustered in the range 0.58 to 0.71 solar masses, contrary to preliminary finding for 3 of the stars. This difference is attributed to the adoption of stellar atmosphere models that better represent the emergent flux distributions below the Lyman limit.

    Description: Attention is given to the continuum properties of the superluminal quasar 3C 345, on the basis of radio, optical, IR, and X-ray frequency monitorings, as well as by means of simultaneous multifrequency spectra extending from the radio through the X-ray bands. Radio outbursts, which appear to follow IR-optical outbursts by about one year, first occur at the highest frequencies, as expected from optical depth effects; the peak flux is nevertheless often reached at several frequencies at once. The beginning of outbursts, as defined by mm-measurements, corresponds to the appearance of the three known 'superluminal' components. An increase in the X-ray flux during 1979-1980 corresponds to increased radio flux, while the IR flux changes in the opposite sense.

    Description: Field tests of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) prototype hardware and software began in March 1985 at Goldstone. With emphasis on the sky survey component of the NASA SETI search strategy, the article describes the survey characteristics, the detection strategy, and preliminary results of system tests.

    Description: The turn-around in the secular change in brightness of Pluto was detected, the planet is now beginning to brighten. The spectral signature was found of an ammonia bearing compound in the surface ices of Europa. Specific Io volcanic hotspots were detected from infrared photometry of the mutual events of the Jovian satellites. The polarized emission from the volcanic hotspots on Io was discovered and the locations of those hotspots were determined. The orbit of Charon was refined from speckle observations of the Pluto-Charon system. The spectral properties of liquid nitrogen-methane mixtures with reference to the infrared spectrum of Triton were studied. Major progress was made in modeling asteroid lightcurves from a modern theory of photometric properties of the asteroid surfaces. Several additional olivine-rich asteroids from near-infrared spectrophotometry were discovered. Important photometric, spectroscopic, narrow-band imaging data on Comet P/Halley was acquired, along with Schmidt photographs of Comet P/Halley and its tail.

    Description: Spectroscopic observations of Comets P/Crommelin, P/Giacobini-Zinner and P/Halley are coordinated, preliminary results are delivered to the astronomical community and the data collected from observers throughout the world are archived. The ASU IHW Center has the additional responsibility of maintaining the IHW Electronic Bulletin Board which reports real-time information on the status of Comet P/Halley. Access to this electronic bulletin board via telephone modem connection is available to any astronomer upon request.

    Description: Comets constitute the most accessible samples of the outer solar system in its most primitive state. The physical and chemical properties of comet nuclei were determined to infer the conditions and processes related to the origin and evolution of the outer solar system. The procedure is to acquire and analyze digital spectra of a sample of comets covering a large range in heliocentric distance. During 1984 to 1986 the emphasis has been on Comet P/Halley (1982i). Large ground-based telescopes and state-of-the-art detectors were used to observe Comet P/Halley pre- and post-perihelion, covering a heliocentric distance range, 0.9 to 6.1 AU.
