Trapping and release of gases by water ice and implications for icy bodies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the trapping and release of H2, CO, CO2, CH4, Ar, and N2 by amorphous water ice under dynamic conditions, at low temperatures starting at 16°K, with gas pressure of 5 × 10−8−10−6 Torr.

Dust and neutral gas modeling of the inner atmospheres of comets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the present, pre-encounter understanding of the physical and chemical processes controlling the inner (r less than 1000 km) region of cometary atmospheres.

Modeling the structure and activity of comet nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution and activity of comets depend on different classes of parameters: defining parameters, such as size and orbit; structural parameters such as porosity and composition; and initial parameters, including temperature and live radioisotope content.
