The nonlinear propagation of narrow pulses of optical radiation in solid-particle aerosol is studied based on the numerical solution of a system of equations on a computer. The formation of nonstationary thermal and mass halos, which do not interact with one another, around the vaporizing aerosol particles which scatter the radiation is taken into account.
