24. Thermodynamic parameters of the ices were taken from G N Brown and W. T Ziegler, Adv Cryog. Eng. 25, 662 (1979) The Bond albedo and emissivity were taken to be 0.04 and 1 0, respectively. Thermal conduction was neglected its effects would decrease the sublimation fluxes relative to the values plotted here Neither the rotation state of the Hale-Bopp nucleus nor the conductivity of its surface materials are known
