Comet Halley approached the sun and the earth for the first time in 76 years, and a very large flares on the sun occurred in February 1986. Many kinds of instruments were aimed at these remarkable phenomena. Several spacecraft were also launched for exploring the comet and many interesting phenomena were observed. Japan's interplanetary spacecraft "Sakigake" observed the interaction region between the solar wind and the comet. In addition to this observation, "Sakigake" provided us with background parameters of the solar wind about the heliomagnetosphere during this time. The result shows that at least three corotating high-speed streams existed near the solar equatorial plane. Two of them caused recurrent geomagnetic activity in Feb. - March 1986., This special issue contains contributed papers presented at the symposium "Solar Terrestrial Events in February-March 1986" (January 19, 1989, Nagoya)}, pages = {41--46}, title = {STRUCTURE OF THE HELIOMAGNETOSPHERE IN FEBRUARY-MARCH 1986}, volume = {36}, year = {1989} }
