Six Outbursts of Comet 46P/Wirtanen
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Cometary activity is a manifestation of sublimation-driven processes at the surface of nuclei. However, cometary outbursts may arise from other processes that are not necessarily driven by volatiles.

Optical Imaging Polarimetry of Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner during Its 2018 Apparition
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We conducted polarimetric observations of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner in the optical wavelength region using the polarimetric imager PICO equipped with the 50 cm telescope for Public Outreach at the Mitaka Campus of the National Astronomical Observatory ...

Dust Properties of Comets Observed by Spitzer
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 As comets journey into the inner solar system, they deliver particulates and volatile gases into their comae that reveal the most primitive materials in the solar system.

Nature, 1890 IT is now generally accepted that the periodic comets of our system did not originate in it, but are bodies captured from outer space by one of the planets, the parabolic orbits in which they approached the system being transformed into elliptical ones.

Application of the regularization method to differential equations of comets' motion
Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2009 Regularization method for differential equation of comets' motion is used. Numerical integration of the equation of motion of 10 short-period comets during the period of 1800 to 2204 with the use of osculating elements of the large planets is done.

FUV Observations of the Inner Coma of 46P/Wirtanen
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Far-ultraviolet observations of comets yield information about the energetic processes that dissociate the sublimated gases from their primitive surfaces.

Monitoring Cometary Activity of 60P/Tsuchinshan During Its 2018–2019 Apparition
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Comet 60P/Tsuchinshan is a Jupiter family comet. Since the discovery of 60P/Tsuchinshan, little research for cometary activity has been conducted on this comet, though it has returned to perihelion several times.

The transition between long period comets, short period comets and meteoroid streams [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1985 It has long been realised that Jovian perturbation is the dominant cause of the transition of long period comets (Period > 200 yr) into short period ones (P < 200 yr). When the differences in the detectability of comets in the two groups are taken into account it is clear that the present day flux of long period comets is sufficient to provide ...

The Gateway from Centaurs to Jupiter-family Comets: Thermal and Dynamical Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 It was recently proposed that there exists a “gateway” in the orbital parameter space through which Centaurs transition to Jupiter-family comets (JFCs).

Stochastic capture of short-period comets [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1989 Un modele d'orbite de comete a courte periode, incluant les perturbations dues aux planetes, est developpe. La capture de ces cometes est analysee en faisant varier l'inclinaison et le perihelie.
