Description
The authors present low resolution maps, of a four by one half arcminute region, of comet Halley, in photometric bands J and K, and central scan in the H band, taken with the 1.5 m Sanchez-Magro Infrared Flux Collector of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, situated in its Observatorio del Teide. They obtain central and integral magnitudes and colours and discuss its variation with distance from the nucleus.
