Scientific paper

Results are presented for four ways of limiting the mass of a dense inner core of comets that may surround the planetary system. Deep far-infrared measurements probably provide the most useful constraints, while future measurements with the Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite (COBE) will do even better. Theories of cometary origins which predict a mass of the inner core in excess of ≅100 M_earth should take these observations into account. The possibility of detecting comet clouds around nearby stars is also discussed.
