Figure 1: A graphic illustration of dust aggregates consisting of 220 submicron grains in a cometary coma, together with an enlarged picture of the constituent grains. Each grain has the layered structure of an amorphous silicate core, a forsterite inner mantle, and an organic refractory outer mantle. |

Figure 2:
Infrared spectra of ballistic particle-cluster aggregates (BPCAs) and ballistic cluster-cluster aggregates (BCCAs) consisting of 220 submicron grains in a cometary coma.
The spectrum is represented by the spectral variation in the absorption cross section normalized at a wavelength of 8 ![]() |
