Cometary Particles with Amorphous Carbon: A Large Carbon Reservoir and Aggregate Particles' Optical Properties Computed with DDSCAT
Abstract
Analyses show cometary C/Si atomic ratios are near ISM values so cometary particles sequestered carbon from the outer disk that highlights the inner disk "carbon deficit" and motivates DDSCAT-computations of cometary aggregates with amorphous carbon.
