Comets as a Source of Interplanetary and Interstellar Grains
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Properties of cometary dust with regard to bulk density, optical characteristics and sizes, derived from recent observations, are used to model scattering properties of cometary and interstellar grains. A wide range of astronomical observations are shown to be explained if cometary objects are hypothesised as a major source of dust grains in the galaxy.
