摘要
This note (1) provides a formal derivation of an algorithm proposed precedingly without proof for evaluating the sublimation rate of dusty ice under solar illumination, and (2) illustrates the importance of adopting a correct algorithm for such a purpose, by rediscussing the basic characteristics of P/Halley nucleus activity derived from the 1996 flyby data.
