Darryl Seligman proposes that dark comets are icy objects that exhibit non-gravitational acceleration due to trapped volatiles but lack the visible dust tails traditionally used to identify comets.
“we have the hypothesis that these objects are like comets and that they have icy material in them even though they are close to the Sun and have been there for a long time but they're for whatever reason not producing a large dust coma”
