Scientific paper

A dynamical qualitative study of the rotational motion for cometary-type bodies submitted to gravitational perturbations has been performed by numerical simulations, including the Sun and Jupiter's disturbing torques in the model. Results show small gravitational disturbing effects from the Sun on Halley-type orbits, as well as from Jupiter on most close-approach configurations. Only a very close-approach induces notable effects, presenting then some interesting sensitivity to initial conditions.
