Because comets are so difficult to observe, it is essential to coordinate observations from a variety of telescopes in order to fully understand their behavior. The apparition of Comet Halley represents a unique opportunity for coordinated programs because this is the only predictable comet which is routinely bright enough for the many observational programs desired. The International Halley Watch is playing an advocacy and coordinating role in the observations of Halley. Coordinated photographic observations will provide a record of the development of jets in the coma and of the motion of features in the tail. Coordinated photometry will provide both the heliocentric variation in vaporization and also the details of the outbursts thought to occur in most comets. Coordination with larger optical telescopes and with radio and infrared telescopes will allow a more complete understanding of the physical and chemical processes occurring in comets. Examples, of course, must still be drawn from observations of previous comets but they illustrate the results expected from Halley.

AbstractWe present an analysis of the scientific (refereed) paper productivity of the current largest (diameter > 8m) ground-based optical (and infrared) telescopes during the ten-year period from 2000 to 2009. The telescopes for which we have gathered and analysed the scientific publication data are the two 10-m Keck telescopes, the four 8.2-m Very Large Telescopes (VLT), the two 8.1-m Gemini telescopes, the 8.2-m Subaru telescope, and the 9.2-m Hobby–Eberly Telescope (HET). We have analysed the numbers of papers published in various astronomical journals produced by using these telescopes. While the total numbers of papers from these observatories are largest for the VLT, followed by Keck, Gemini, Subaru, and HET, the number of papers produced by each component of the telescopes is largest for Keck, followed by VLT, Subaru, Gemini, and HET. In 2009, each telescope of the Keck, VLT, Gemini, Subaru, and HET observatories produced 135, 109, 93, 107, and 5 refereed papers, respectively. We have shown that each telescope of the Keck, VLT, Gemini, and Subaru observatories is producing 2.1 ± 0.9 Nature and Science papers annually and these papers make up 1.7 ± 0.8% of all refereed papers produced by using each of those telescopes. Extending this relation, we propose that this ratio of the number of Nature and Science papers to the total number of refereed papers that will be produced by future extremely large telescopes (ELTs) will remain similar. From a comparison of the publication trends of the above telescopes, we suggest that (i) having more than one telescope of the same kind at the same location and (ii) increasing the number of instruments available at the telescope are good ways to maximize the paper productivity.
