Dust Properties of Comets Observed by Spitzer

Dust Properties of Comets Observed by Spitzer

As comets journey into the inner solar system, they deliver particulates and volatile gases into their comae that reveal the most primitive materials in the solar system. Cometary dust particles provide crucial information for assessing the physicochemical conditions in the outer disk from which the...
