Some peculiarities of orbits of observed comets.
Irina Guseva
Pulkovo Observatory, St Petersburg State University


Main subject of investigation:
Spatial distribution of orbits of real (observed) comets

Data for analysis:
JPL catalogue of orbital parameters of observed comets

By September, 1, 2014 -

3 277 observed comets.


Solar system
Comet classification: Short-period (<200 yr) Long-period (>200 yr)

Oort cloud:
doughnut-shaped inner Oort cloud ­ Hills cloud 2 ­ 20 AU (0.03 ­ 0.3 ly) spherical outer Oort cloud 20 ­ 50 (- 100) AU (0.3 ­ 0.8 ly)


JPL catalogue of orbital parameters of comets:
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/dat/ELEMENTS.COMET By September, 1, 2014 3 277 observed comets.

Excluded from investigation:
a) "Very old comets" - 107 - observed before 1760 Their orbits were approximately reconstructed with eccentricity e = 1 b) Fragments of destroyed comets ­ the only object was taken into account from each group: 73P/ Schwassmann-Wachmann (66 objects), C/1882 R1 (Great September comet - 4 objects), D/1993 F2 (Shoemaker-Levy 9 ­ 21 objects). ) Small sungrazers (Kreutz, Meyer, Marsden, Kracht ­ 1478 objects) with e = 1, observed from the space only by SOHO, SMM, Solwind


Work with the JPL catalogue:
1604 comets were analyzed after exclusion of the aforecited objects. Comets were divided into 4 groups by eccentricity: e< 0.9 e= e> 0.9
Each group was analyzed separately.

Comets with e < 0.9 (only 4 comets of 532 are the long-period ones, more than 200 yr)


All comets with e < 1

"A substantial fraction of the Oort cloud comets, perhaps exceeding 90%, are from the protoplanetary disks of other stars"

"The Sun's Hill sphere has an unstable maximum boundary of 230,000 AU (1.1 parsecs (3.6 light-years))"

Main results:
1. Amount of short-period, long-period comets and sum of comets with parabolic and hyperbolic orbits is about equal. 2. Short-period comets have perihelia / aphelia near the ecliptic plane and show a weak concentration near the direction to the galactic center. 3. Long-period comets, comets with parabolic and hyperbolic orbits have very similar distributions of their "anti-perihelia", flattened to the galactic plane. It allows to suppose their common origin from the birth stars cluster. 4. These groups of comets have not evident concentration near the direction to the galactic center, that could be expected as a result of galactic tidal forces. 5. Probably, some revealed concentrations are connected with nearest massive stars.
