N2 - The trapping of various gases by water ice at low temperatures (20-80K) and their release from the ice upon warming, was studied experimentally. The results of these experiments, together with a computation of the thermal evolution of a cometary nucleus, can explain the gas and dust jets which were observed to emanate from the nucleus of P/Halley. The experimental results are important also to the gas content of Titan.
