A comparative study of ionization rates due to (i) solar EUV radiation, (ii) photoelectrons, and (iii) auroral electrons, is carried out on the ionosphere of Comet Halley for various ionic species. It is found that, in the vicinity of the ionization peak, the photoelectron impact ionization rate is
