Description: Observational data on the thermal emission from cometary dust grains and theoretical models constructed to explain them are reviewed. Consideration is given to grain temperature, the size distribution of the grains, thermal-emission models, the silicate component, dust-grain albedo, and icy grains; model predictions and observations are compared in graphs. It is pointed out that no unambiguous detection of icy grains has been achieved, probably because these grains are vaporized within a few hundred km of the nucleus when the comet is within 2.5 AU of the sun.
