So this paper (also available on the #Arxiv here) is the first part about coupling these two models: investigating the ability of the thermal model to match #comet #67P's observed outgassing and non gravitational forces and torques

The first is about tracking the trajectories of dust particles around #comet #67P and led to this publication by Abhinav Jindal, @browngeomorphlab.bsky.social, and @spacemarschall.net. Lots of dust falls back on the surface, changing it's properties, which we want to model
