Within the framework of a pair two-body problem (Sun-Jupiter, Sun-comet), the kinematics of the encounter of a minor body with a planet is investigated. The notion of points of low-velocity tangency of the orbits of the comet and Jupiter, as well as the point of Jovicentric velocity and the low-velocity tangent section of a cometary orbit, is introduced. The conditions and definitions of low-velocity and high-velocity encounters are proposed. The systems of inequalities relating the a and e parameters, which make it possible to single out those comets that are likely to be objects with low-velocity encounters, are presented. The regions of orbits that have low-velocity tangent sections, i.e., regions of low-velocity tangency of orbits, are singled out on the (a, e) plane. These regions agree well with the corresponding parameters of the orbits of real comets whose evolution contains low-velocity encounters with Jupiter.
