AbstractAbstract
[en] Halley Multicolour Camera (HMC) images taken of the nucleus of comet P/Halley and its environment from on board ESA's spacecraft, Giotto, provide substantial evidence for flow of dust particles almost parallel to the surface at small cometocentric distances. This evidence is summarized and discussed with reference to other spacecraft experiments, ground-based observations, and current hydrodynamic models of dusty gas jets from comets. It is concluded that lateral transport of material from the active regions on the dayside to the nightside by near-surface gas flow strongly increases the dust density in the anti-sunward direction

AbstractAbstract
[en] A shooting star passage -even a star shower- can be sometimes easily seen during moonless black night. They represent the partial volatilization in earth atmosphere of meteorites or micrometeorites reduced in cosmic dusts. Everywhere on earth, these star dusts are searched to be gathered. This research made one year ago on the Greenland ice-cap is this article object; orbit gathering projects are also presented

Il n'est pas rare l'ete par nuit noire et sans lune d'observer dans le ciel le passage d'une etoile filante, voire meme d'une pluie d'etoiles. Elles refletent la volatilisation partielle dans l'atmosphere terrestre de meteorites ou de micro meteorites reduites alors en poussieres cosmiques. On cherche a recueillir partout sur la terre ces poussieres d'etoiles. C'est cette recherche effectuee il y a un an sur la calotte glaciaire groenlandaise qui fait l'objet de cet article. Les projets de collecte en orbite sont aussi presentesOriginal Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Analysis of four small-scale photographs of Comet West taken on 5--8 March 1976 offers evidence of five discrete bursts of dust from the comet's nucleus between 19 and 28 February, i.e., from six days before perihelion to three days after it. The images of the comet on the photographs were computer-enhanced to increase the contrast of the fine structure. The timing of two of the bursts suggests very strongly that they accompanied the two breakup events that gave birth to the companion nuclei D and B. The primary breakup, on 19 February, also coincides with a 2-magnitude surge in the comet's brightness. Some of the other dust bursts might be correlated with less conspicous flare-ups observed in both the visual brightness and the thermal emission of the comet. A distinct intensity discontinuity makes up the trailing boundary of the main body of the dust tail. When the observed position of the discontinuity is corrected for an effect of particle-expulsion velocity, it is found to correspond to dust expelled from the comet exactly at perihelion. It is suggested that because of its timing, the intensity discontinuity could be a product of particle evaporation sharply peaked at perihelion

AbstractAbstract
[en] The present investigation has the objective to provide a summary of the existing evidence on the disappearance of comets and to draw conclusions regarding the physical processes involved in the disappearance. Information concerning the classification of evidence and the causes of apparent disappearance of comets is presented in a table. Attention is given to the dissipating comets, the headless sungrazing comet 1887 I, and the physical behavior of the dissipating comets and the related phenomena. It is found that all comets confined to the planetary region of the solar system decay on astronomically short time scales. However, only some of them appear to perish catastrophically. Some of the observed phenomena could be successfully interpreted. But little insight has been obtained into the character of the processes which the dissipating comets experience. 98 references

AbstractAbstract
[en] A coherent picture of the dust composition and its physical characteristics in the various phases of the interstellar medium was the central theme. Topics addressed included: dust in diffuse interstellar medium; overidentified infrared emission features; dust in dense clouds; dust in galaxies; optical properties of dust grains; interstellar dust models; interstellar dust and the solar system; dust formation and destruction; UV, visible, and IR observations of interstellar extinction; and quantum-statistical calculations of IR emission from highly vibrationally excited polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules
