They have been created far away from the early Sun and their material  properties have been altered the least since their formation. Thus,  the composition and structure of comet nuclei provide the best  information about the chemical and thermodynamic conditions in the  nebula from which our solar system formed. \u003cbr\u003e  In this volume, cometary experts review a broad spectrum of ideas and  conclusions based on \u003cem\u003ein situ\u003c\/em\u003e measurement of Comet Halley and  remote sensing observations of the recent bright Comets Hale-Bopp and  Hyakutake. The chemical character of comet nuclei suggests many close  similarities with the composition of interstellar clouds. It also  suggests material mixing from the inner solar nebula and challenges  the importance of the accretion shock in the outer nebula. The book is  intended to serve as a guide for researchers and graduate students  working in the field of planetology and solar system exploration.  Several special indexes focus the reader's attention to detailed  results and discussions. It concludes with recommendations for  laboratory investigations and for advanced modeling of comets, the  solar nebula, and the collapse of interstellar clouds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792361541\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4211-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 412\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49471316033676,"sku":"9780792361541","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792361541.jpg?v=1777984021","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792361541","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
