Scientific paper
An analysis of polarimetric observations obtained for 13 comets shows that the sample's dusty comets constitute a separate group which displays the same polarization-phase angle dependence. Polarization increases with wavelength, due to the increasingly greater contribution of small particles at the larger phase angles. Gas-rich faint-continuum comets are noted to exhibit a different polarization, perhaps due to an underabundance of small particles.
