Scientific paper

The nongravitational parameters affecting the motion of the periodic comets Schwassmann-Wachmann 2 and Comas Sola are redetermined and found to agree with previous calculations. New nongravitational constants are computed for comets Ashbrook-Jackson and Kearns-Kwee, and the next perihelion passages for these comets are determined. Comas Sola very likely underwent some physical change during 1943-1960, perhaps a modification of the direction of the nucleus' axis of rotation. Comet Ashbrook-Jackson is affected by small nongravitational forces, while Kearns-Kwee is strongly affected by them.
