Scientific paper

Three comets are now known to be at or near the 1/1 resonance with Jupiter: P/Slaughter-Burnham, P/Boethin and P/Ge-Wang. Although details of the individual orbits differ, the three comets have very similar general dynamic behavior: their orbits show many transitions between the different types of resonant motion (satellite libration, anti-satellite libration and circulating motion). The stochastic character of such cometary orbits, mainly due to encounters with Jupiter, is investigated using Lyapunov Characteristic Indicators. For each comet of the group, we study the influences of initial mean anomaly, eccentricity and inclination on the stochasticity of the orbit. The motions of P/Slaughter-Burnham and P/Boethin have been investigated previously. We present here our first results for P/Ge-Wang.
