Scientific paper

Recent years have seen a revolution in the possibility to understand cometary capture, i.e., the origin of the cometary population that moves in orbits confined to the inner Solar System. This is due to the discovery of the major source populations: the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, and the scattered disk. We review the current understanding of the links between the distant sources, including the Oort cloud, and the observed, short-period population, and the problems that remain. Some highlights of present research in this field will serve to illustrate recent progress and major issues that are currently arising.
