The relatively low value of Xe/Kr in the atmospheres of Earth and Mars seems to rule out meteorites as the major carriers of noble gases to the inner planets. Laboratory experiments on the trapping of gases in ice forming at low temperatures suggest that comets may be a better choice. It is then pos

Wave disturbances due to the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL-9) cometary impacts into Jupiter's atmosphere have been simulated with a fully compressible (nonhydrostatic), time-dependent, nonlinear, axisymmetric, f-plane, finite difference computational scheme. Energy is released in a cylindrical region with a
The warm circumnuclear dust in the inner cometary coma reradiates in the IR in the wavelength range of the ground state rotational band of the dominant atmospheric molecule, HzO. However, the interaction of this radiation with Hz0 has hitherto not been taken into account in cometary atmospheric mode
