  • Abstract
    A low temperature structural change in amorphous water ice, the high density to low density amorphous transition, is proposed as a mechanism for the formation of deep cracks in cometary nuclei. Such cracks are proposed to underlie active vents in the cometary crust and to play a role in the splitting of cometary nuclei.
