Scientific paper

Recent numerical researches on the dynamics of close approaches of short
period comets to Jupiter have confirmed that in several cases objects of
this kind can be captured by the planet as temporary satellites. This
phenomenon seems to occur rather frequently and provides new insights on
the orbital evolutionary patterns of short period comets.
