Figure 2: Spatial reddening profile for August 28/29, 2000. Filled symbols show the reddening on the "blue'' interval (4100 Å to 5400 Å), open symbols on the "red'' interval (5400 Å to 6100 Å) along the slit versus projected distance from the nucleus. Negative distances denote the sunward side, positive distances the tailward side of the nucleus. |

Figure 8: Dust mass production rates for different model parameters. Upper panel: RN = 30 km and active surface fractions fof 5%, 19% and 50% of the total surface. Lower panel: active surface fraction f = 19% and RN of 25 km, 30 km and 35 km. The values for the preferred parameters (RN = 30 km, f = 19%) are shown (dots) and power law fits to the dust production rates calculated with the different parameters are plotted. |

N =3.3, 3.6 and 3.9. Lower panel: N = 3.6 and M = 1.8, 7.2 and 68.4 The
parameters N and M correspond to a peak in the dust size distribution
