Abstract
⺠We simulated sublimation of CO ice within nucleus of Comet Holmes. ⺠The tensile strength of the nucleus of Comet Holmes can be as low as 10 kPa. ⺠When the nucleus is very fine-grained the CO pressure can exceed 10 kPa. ⺠Sublimation of CO ice within nucleus of Comet Holmes may cause explosion.
