The Impending Demise of Comet C/2013 US10
arXiv:1509.05966
Abstract
We have developed a 3-step criterion to decide if a comet coming from the Oort Cloud will disintegrate. If we apply this criterion to comet C/2013 US10 we find that the probability of disintegration is 92%. The Secular Light Curve of this comet exhibits complexity beyond current scientific understanding, suggesting that our knowledge of cometary science is incomplete.
