Fig. 3

Nucleus subsurface comprising uniform spherical dust aggregates. The topmost few layers of aggregates are desiccated, and water ice is present underneath in addition to the dust aggregates (panel a). The aggregate radius is ra and is independent of the ice content. We also assume for simplification that sublimation occurs from a fixed depth of X (panel b).
