Scientific paper
The observed infrared emission from comets has been used to derive the heliocentric dependence of the dust production rate. There is a tight relation with heliocentric distance r, showing 1/r-squared variation up to r less than about 1 AU for Comet Kohoutek and 1/r to the 4th for r greater than about 1 AU for Comet Halley. There appears to be a general pattern of behavior in the shape of the heliocentric dependence of the dust production rate for several comets. This trend is qualitatively similar to the sublimation curves for water-ice.
