摘要：
Recent observations show the ubiquity of crystalline silicate in various objects, among which cornets provide the best opportunity to study possible processing of pristine matter during their formation and evolution. While thermal processing of bare amorphous silicates ill the hot inner solar nebula has been invoked. its drawback is it difficutly in explaining file interstellar composition of cometary ices. Here we apply a model of core-mantle interstellar grains to propose nonthermal crystallization of the amorphous Silicate Core Clue to the energy released by chemical reactions ill the organic refractory mantle when moderately heated by solar radiation. By formulating the nonthermal crystallization. we find that the degree of crystallinity is determined by it single parameter that is proportional to the amount of the released energy. We show that the present mechanism of crystallization is capable of reproducing the strengths of crystalline silicate features observed in cornets. Our model can reconcile crystalline silicate in the comae of comets with the Interstellar composition Of ices ill their nuclei.
