Scientific paper

We analyze the sample of measured nuclear magnitudes of the observed
Jupiter Family comets (taken as those with orbital periods P < 20
years and Tisserand parameters T > 2) to derive sizes of comet
nuclei, fraction of active surface areas, as well as to try to gain
insight about their physical lifetimes and end states.
