Description
A mathematical model is proposed for the mechanism of flareups of the brightness of comets, based on the process of fragmentation of unstable icy bodies contained in their atmospheres under the action of particles of high-velocity corpuscular streams of the solar wind. The model well explains the set of phenomena observed during flareups of cometary brightness. 27 references
