Scientific paper

Characteristics of the secular evolution of cometary orbits are studied using the orbits of two comets, Kearns-Kwee and Lexell, which penetrated exceptionally deep into Jupiter's zone of influence. Three variants are considered for the orbital evolution of Kearns-Kwee over 400 years (1660 to 2060) and for that of Lexell over the period from 1770 to 2060. The following characteristics of orbital transformations are established: (1) Jupiter may capture a comet in two stages, first by transforming hyperbolic or elliptic transplutonian orbits into short-period orbits with aphelia between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune and then by capturing the comet into the Jupiter family; (2) Jupiter may reeject the comet from its family into another, very remote planetary family and then return it to the fold; and (3) for extremely deep penetration into its zone of influence and appropriate close-encounter conditions, Jupiter may eject a comet from its family into a transplutonian or long-period orbit or even send it along a hyperbola into interstellar space.
