Thermal Evolution of the Nucleus of the Comet 67P for 120 Years: Numerical Simulations
The purpose of this paper is to estimate to what temperatures and to what depth the outer layers of the cometary nuclei are heated for several dozen revolutions around the Sun, and what changes in the composition of the volatiles occur in this case. This is important because it is not clear how much...
