Scientific paper

Numerical integrations of the motion of Comet P/Helin-Roman-Crockett (HRC) have been performed. The model and algorithm used to make the integrations are described, and the results are presented for a close encounter with Jupiter preceding discovery of the HRC. It is shown that the HRC experienced temporary satellite capture by the strictest definition. Results concerning the long-term evolution of the HRC orbit and its similarities to that of other quasi-Hilda type comets are addressed.
