Scientific paper

The capture by giant planets of parabolic comets moving in the plane of planetary orbits is considered. Planet families of long-period comets are identified, and distant planets are shown to provide elliptical comets for their further capture by planets nearer to the sun. It is pointed out that the family of the short-period comets of Jupiter may be considered one of the most numerous families of comets; the correlation between the orbital elements a, e, and q is predicted for this family and corroborated by observational data. It is suggested that capture might begin with Neptune, with further movement of a comet from one planet family to another. Short-period comet orbits occur only in the case of the deep penetration of comets into the gravitational field of a planet.
