Nongravitational Effects on Cometary Motion due to Jupiter . ... The problem of linking cometary apparitions before and after the approach of a comet to Jupiter was investigated. A hypothesis of possible existence of additional acceleration, perturbing the motion of comets in the vicinity of Jupiter, was considered. This nongravitational perturbation is described by a function of the jovicentric distance, written in a standard "force law" form. ...

... Artist?s conception of the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter, as seen from the Galileo spacecraft. At the time of the first impact, the comet fragments will be much farther apart than shown in this illustration. ... One orbit, computer May 18, 1993 by Syuichi Nakano, showed that the comet passed close to Jupiter in July 1992, and would pass within 45,000 kilometers of the center of Jupiter in July, 1994. ... The fragments of Shoemaker-Levy 9 move around Jupiter. ...

... Comet Tutorial . ... On July 1, 1993 an image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that clearly shows at least 15 individual fragments in one image frame of the train. ... This made an accurate orbit (or orbits) difficult to determine; however, after numerous observations of the comet, astronmers determined that the comet had passed within 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) of the center of Jupiter or 25,000 kilometers (16,000 miles) from the cloud tops during the July 8, 1992, approach. ...

A numerical simulation of the Oort cloud is used to explain the observed orbital distributions and numbers of Jupiter-family and Halley-type short-period comets. ... Virtually all observed Halley-type comets and nearly half of observed Jupiter-family comets come from the Oort cloud, and initially (4.5 Gyr ago) from orbits concentrated near the outer planetary region. ...

Observing conditions were favorable at Arecibo July 5-15 2001, and observing time for both spectroscopy of 18-cm OH lines and S-band radar observations were arranged. The comet nucleus was observed to split into two pieces on April 30. ... Because the comet passed within 0.25 AU of the Earth in early July, when it was visible from Arecibo Observatory, it was fairly well suited to radar observation. ...
