Cometary dust is likely to have aggregate structure. Therefore the optical properties of aggregates must be understood if one wants to obtain information on cometary dust from optical observations. In this paper the scattering properties of polydisperse clusters with sizes comparable to the visible
In the near future, several space missions are scheduled, which will closely investigate short-period comets. Some of these (e.g., ROSETTA) will also deliver landing probes for in situ investigations of the nucleus' surface. Therefore there is now renewed interest in the structure and behavior of co
