Multispecies Sublimation of a Comet Including the Influence of the Gas-Phase on Thermal ConductivityThe heat tranfer process that results from gaseous diffusion through the nucleus is shown to play a significant role in modeling comet nulei. In this paper, a comprehensive comet nucleus model is presented which simulates the efflux of gas from surface and interior layers.
