Distribution of changes in brightness as a function of the surface that has undergone destruction. The calculations assumed that the activity of the comet is controlled by the sublimation of water ice, and the scattering of incident sunlight occurs on porous dust agglomerates. Additionally, four example values of the active surface during quiet sublimation and one example value of bolometric albedo were taken into account in the calculations. The presented simulation results refer to model B.
