Scientific paper

The thermal conductivity of two comet models is calculated. Both models assume the comets to be heterogeneous in composition. One model considers the comet to have a nucleus of water-ice mixed with basaltic and meteoritic material in the form of dust and agglomerated particles surrounded by a layer of water-frost. The second model assumes the frost and water-ice layers have sublimated, leaving a porous structure to some depth composed of solid basaltic and meteoritic material with residual gases. K values are calculated as a function of depth, density, temperature and porosity.
