Physical observations of comets: Their composition, origin and evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The composition, origins, and evolution of comets were studied. The composition was studied using spectroscopic observations of primarily brighter comets at moderate and high resolution for the distribution of certain gases in the coma.

Dynamics of the Oort cloud and formation of interstellar comets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.To better understand the formation and evolution

The Physics of Comets

open access: yes, 2013
Comets are icy bodies that formed in the outer regions of the solar system. They originate in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. The vast majority of these comets remain frozen in the outer reaches of the solar system. However, due to galactic tides and

From Kuiper Belt Object To Cometary Nucleus

open access: yes, 2007
We now realise that many small body populations are related through a common origin in the Kuiper Belt, notably the Centaurs, the Jupiter Family Comets and certain dead-comets.

Activity of main-belt comet 324P/La Sagra

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We study the activity evolution of the main-belt comet 324P/La Sagra over time and the properties of its emitted dust. Methods. We performed aperture photometry on images taken by a wide range of telescopes at optical and thermal infrared wavelengths between 2010 and 2021.

The state of knowledge concerning the Kuiper belt [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The arguments for and against the idea that most short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt are discussed. Observational constraints on the distribution of mass in the Kuiper belt are reviewed as well as a model of the physical conditions that now ...

Comet 66P/du Toit: A Near Earth Main Belt Comet?

open access: yes, 2018
We obtained medium-resolution and high-resolution spectra of the near-Earth Jupiter family comet (JFC) 66P/du Toit from 300 to 2500 nm with X-shooter/VLT and UVES/VLT on 2018 July 01, 07 and 13, respectively. In addition, we obtained a series of narrow-band images of 66P between 2018 May and July with TRAPPIST-South.
