摘 要:The paper presents a model of the thermodynamic evolution of the comet nucleus *** the proposed approach,we focus on the analysis of the formation of pits visible on the surface of the cometary *** pits are a consequence of the thermodynamic evolution of both the surface layers and the inner layers of the cometary *** a result of complex thermodynamic processes,the surface layer is destroyed.A measure of this destruction is the amount of comet material that is thrown into a coma as a result of *** effect of this process is an increase in the area on which the incident light *** we can notice a sudden increase in the brightness of the comet,i.e.,its outburst.A measure of the amplitude of a given outburst is the diameter and thickness of the surface layer that has been *** mechanism of the evolution of the pits was proposed based on the analysis of many photos taken by the Rosetta *** obtained numerical values correspond to the actual brightness changes of the Jupiter family comets during their outburst.
