Abstract
This article presents a model of conjugated Gaussian random particles, which are convenient for simulation of irregular particles that constitute cometary dust. Computer simulation is conducted for the polarimetric properties of these particles; phase dependences are calculated for the linear polarization degree. The calculated results are used to interpret cometary polarimetric observations and determine possible physical and chemical characteristics of comets as well as the variation range within which the model adequately describes the observed data. The model calculations are used to refine the empirical formula that describes the phase dependence of the linear polarization degree for the cometary continuum.
