Description

The space-age view of cometary physics and chemistry is dealt with in this book.

Nucleus, neutral coma, plasma, dust and the origin and evolution of comets are treated in chapters written by leading experts in the field. The book is intended as a reference source for advanced students and researchers in space physics, planetology, geophysics and cosmochemistry.
