✦ Synopsis


A brief discussion is given of the physical processes that may lead to a differentiation of the nucleus of short period comets. It is concluded that samples from the near-surface layers of such comets may give us important information on the initial state of cometary organics and refractories. Cometary ices are more likely to be indicators of the recent evolution of the comet.
