The authors have modified their earlier thermal model of cometary nuclei by incorporating a more accurate calculation of the opacity of the cometary dust coma. The new model uses a modified Sekanina-Miller dust particle size distribution and a Delsemme-Miller gas outflow dynamics model. The improved model has been applied to the case of the 1986 apparition of Halley's comet, also incorporating a revised radius and albedo for the Halley nucleus.
