摘要：

Electron Heat flux observations and associated plasma phenomena upstream from comet Giacobini-Zinner show many similarities to observations upstream from the Earth's magnetosheath. Two similarities are discussed. Heat flux events are used to compute the transition region boundary location. The computed subsolar standoff distance of 4 multiplied by 10**4 km is commensurate with a comet gas production rate, G, of 3 multiplied by 10**2**8 molecules/s (mol/s), in accord with ground-based determination of G.
