Notes. (a) Coma magnitude in the projected annulus between $\phi = 0.5^{\prime\prime}$ and $\phi' = 3.3^{\prime\prime}$. (b) Derived dust cross-section. (c) Derived dust mass in the coma annulus. (d) Dust grains radial outflow speed in the coma annulus. $\dag $ Realistic case. $\S$ Upper limit case (gas outflow velocity). (e) Crossing time of the (projected) coma annulus. (f) Derived dust mass loss rate.
