Monte Carlo Models of Comet Dust Tails Observed From the Ground
Universe, 2022 Dust particles leaving the comet nucleus surface are entrained by the gas within the first few nuclear radius distances and are subjected to a complex hydrodynamical environment.

Conditions for the Formation of Anomalous Tail of Comet
Open Astronomy, 2019 The time and velocity of ejection of dust particles of anomalous tails from cometary nuclei are determined. It is revealed that some comets cause the formation of an anomalous tail is the collision of their comet nucleus with other bodies of the Solar ...

Active Asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS: Rotational Instability as the Origin of its Multitails?
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The active asteroid 311P/PanSTARRS is one of the two targets of the planned Chinese asteroid exploration mission Tianwen-2. During 2013, 311P experienced several mass-loss events and exhibited multiple comet-like tails. Here we analyze the morphology and

Dusty plasmas: from Saturn’s rings to semiconductor processing devices
Advances in Physics: X, 2021 Dusty plasmas are plasmas containing solid particles in the size range of about 10 nm—10 μm. The particles acquire an electrical charge by collecting electrons and ions from the plasma, or by photo-electron emission if they are exposed to UV radiation ...

Effects of monomer shape on the formation of aggregates from a power law monomer distribution
New Journal of Physics, 2013 The coagulation of dust aggregates is an important process in many physical systems such as the Earth's upper atmosphere, comet tails and protoplanetary discs.

A Large Outburst, Coma Asymmetries, and the Color of Comet 243P/NEAT
The Planetary Science JournalWater ice is a fundamental building material of comets and other bodies in the outer solar system. Yet the properties of cometary water ice are challenging to study, due to its volatility and the typical distances at which comets are observed.
