Dynamics of a complete sample of 22 small perihelion distance near-parabolic comets discovered in the years 2006 - 2010 is studied. First, osculating orbits are obtained after a careful positional data inspection and processing, including where appropriate, the method of data partitioning for determination of pre- and post-perihelion orbit for tracking then its dynamical evolution. The nongravitational acceleration in the motion is detected for 50 per cent of investigated comets, in a few…

Near-parabolic comets observed in 2006–2010 – II. Their past and future motion under the influence of the Galaxy field and known nearby stars
Here, we continue this research with a detailed study of their past and future motion during previous and next orbital periods under the perturbing action of our Galactic environment. At all stages…
Non-gravitational effects change the original 1/a-distribution of near-parabolic comets
Context. The original 1∕a-distribution is the only observational basis for the origin of long-period comets (LPCs) and the dynamical properties of the Oort Cloud. Although they are very subtle in the…
Warsaw Catalogue of cometary orbits: 119 near-parabolic comets
Context. The dynamical evolution of near-parabolic comets strongly depends on the starting values of the orbital elements derived from the positional observations. In addition, when drawing…
New catalogue of one-apparition comets discovered in the years 1901–1950 - I. Comets from the Oort spike
Context. The orbits of one-apparition comets discovered in the early part of the last century have formerly been determined with very different numerical methods and assumptions on the model of the…
On the accuracy of close stellar approaches determination
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the accuracy of our knowledge of close stellar passage distances in the pre-GAIA era.We used the most precise astrometric and kinematic data available at the…
Oort spike comets with large perihelion distances
The complete sample of large-perihelion nearly-parabolic comets discovered during the period 1901-2010 is studied starting from their orbit determination. Next, an orbital evolution that includes…
First stars that could significantly perturb comet motion are finally found.
Since 1950 when Oort published his paper on the structure of the cloud of comets it is believed that stars passing near this hypothetical cometary reservoir play an important role in the dynamical…
Towards a better understanding of the apparent source/sources of long period comets
Origin and Evolution of Long-period Comets
We develop an evolutionary model of the long-period comet (LPC) population, starting from their birthplace in a massive trans-Neptunian disk that was dispersed by migrating giant planets. Most comets…
New orbit recalculations of comet C/1890 F1 Brooks and its dynamical evolution
C/1890 F1 Brooks belongs to a group of nineteen comets used by Jan Oort to support his famous hypothesis on the existence of a spherical cloud containing hundreds of billions of comets with orbits of…

Where do long‐period comets come from? Moving through the Jupiter–Saturn barrier
The past and future dynamical evolution of all 64 long-period comets having 1/aori 3.0 au and discovered after 1970 is studied. For this sample of Oort-spike comets we have obtained a new,…
Dynamical history of the observed long-period comets
We present results of some numerical studies on the dynamical history of a large number of observed long-period comets. In our investigations we include all comets with good quality orbits. We…
Different dynamical histories for comets C/2001 Q4 and C/2002 T7?
Context. Both, C/2001 Q4 and C/2002 T7, are widely regarded in the literature as dynamically new comets that are visiting our planetary system for the first time from the Oort Cloud. Aims. We study…
A study of the original orbits of "hyperbolic" comets
The problem of hyperbolic incoming orbits for single-apparition comets is investigated. In this context the effect of non-gravitational acceleration on cometary dynamics was analyzed for the sample…
