The striations in the Type II tail of the comets are called striae. The origin of the striae has been poorly understood. We present a new dynamical model to explain the structure of the striae observed at comets Hale-Bopp (C/1995O1), West (C/1975V1), and Seki-Lines (C/1962C1). Complex particles of a...
