Abstract

An improved solution of the temperature distribution of interplanetary ice grains is presented using the refractive index measured at 100° K. The efficiency factors for absorption are obtained from Mie theory and the calculation is carried out for micronic and submicronic grains at 50, 100 and 150° K; corresponding lifetimes are given.
