Physical properties of cometary dust from Monte Carlo analysis of tail and coma images
Forward and inverse Monte Carlo modeling of cometary dust tail and coma images has provided one of the best approaches to infer the basic physical dust parameters and their time dependence: mass loss rates, ejection velocities, and size distribution functions. These methods attempt to fit the bright...
