Peculiarity of solar radiation scattering by dust in the head of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner in 1985
On the basis of the polarimetric observations of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner the average radius of the dust particles ρ0 ≈ 8.5·10−6 cm, mass and average concentration of dust in the head of comet 21P were estimated.
