Dynamics and Origin of Comets: New Problems Appeared after the Rosetta Space Mission
arXiv:1912.10747 · doi:10.1134/S0038094618050039
Abstract
The data obtained in the recent Rosetta space mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko have had a profound impact on the understanding of the nature of comets. In addition to revising the notions on the physical properties and structure of comets, this addresses dynamical aspects of the formation of the observed cometary populations (short- and long-period comets, Centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects, and Oort-cloud objects). In the review, we discuss new problems that have appeared in the theory of dynamical evolution and origin of comets due to the Rosetta mission.
