UT Date (yyyy/mm/dd) Dust Production rate (kg s−1)

(1) (2) (3)
2010/06/10 67–116 75–115 72–100
2011/01/02 58–108 66–107 67–93
2013/02/17 27–49 27–45 30–42

Notes. Results for dust particles made of a matrix of amorphous carbon with inclusions of crystalline ice, with an ice content of 45% in mass. Column (1): range of dust production rates inferred from the flux density at 70 μm for amin = 0.5 to 10 μm, size index α from −4.5 to −2.5, and amax = 250 μm. Column (2): same as (1), but for amin and α values providing a 70 μm to 160 μm flux density ratio F70/F160 consistent with the observations. Column (3): same as (1), but for amin and α values providing a 16 μm to 24 μm flux density ratio F16/F24 consistent with the Spitzer observations undertaken on 23–24 November 2003 (Schambeau et al. 2021).
