Scientific paper

A thermal model of a cometary nucleus on the basis of numerical solution of the nonstationary heat-conduction equation with regard to energetic balance on the surface, variability of thermophysical characteristics of material, influence of the dust component, proper rotation and orbital motion of the comet is considered. Temperature fields are calculated; the value of the reaction force arising at the anisotropic gas flow out of the nucleus is estimated. A photometric model of the area around the nucleus containing quantitative estimates of the optical properties of the nucleus and dusty-gas atmosphere is constructed with application of the thermal model characteristics. The problem of brightness distribution in the surroundings of a cometary nucleus is investigated qualitatively.
