Comets: Orbits, Oort'S Cloud

Scientific paper

We study the evolution of the Solar system comet cloud by the action of planetary, galactic and stellar perturbations. We follow thousands of comets for many star passages. The distribution of near-parabolic comets in the outer planetary region is very different from that in the inner part. In the planetary region the majority of comets have semi-major axes a < 104AU, their perihelia are located in the outer part. The maximum in the distribution of comets on their first passage through the planetary region lies near Neptune's orbit. We have shown that comets evolve gradually in the planetary region to small perihelion distances.
