Abstract
⺠We develop quantitative search algorithms for faint tails and comae. ⺠Using these code, we find no main-belt comet (MBC) candidates in the TALCS data. ⺠We present evidence for very low-level tail activity in about 5% of our sample. ⺠We determine that the MBC:MBA ratio is <1:400 for H < 21.0. ⺠We statistically argue that the contemporary snow line is beyond 2.5 AU.
