Orbital Motion and History of Sungrazing Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS)
Zdenek Sekanina, Malgorzata Krolikowska
We report results of our extensive computations of the orbital motion of comet C/2026 A1, including its integration back to the fourth century and parallel integration of 1000 virt…
The Catalogue of Cometary Orbits and their Dynamical Evolution
Małgorzata Królikowska, Piotr A. Dybczyński
The new cometary catalogue containing data for almost 300 long-period comets that were discovered before 2018 is announced (the CODE catalogue). This is the first catalogue contain…
First stars that could significantly perturb comet motion are finally found
Rita Wysoczańska, Piotr A. Dybczyński, Małgorzata Królikowska
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…
Kruger 60 as a home system for 2I/Borisov -- a case study
Piotr A. Dybczyński, Małgorzata Królikowska, Rita Wysoczańska
For the second discovered interstellar comet 2I/Borisov we searched for a candidate for its home system. We will never be sure which star or stellar system does this comet come fro…
Discovery statistics and the 1/a-distribution of long-period comets detected over the 1801-2017 period
Małgorzata Królikowska, Piotr A. Dybczyński
For the last two decades we have been observing a huge increase in discoveries of long-period comets (LPCs), especially those with large-perihelion distances. We collected data for…
Note on the dynamical evolution of C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS
Małgorzata Królikowska, Piotr A. Dybczyński
(Abreviated) Comet C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS drew attention to its activity already at a time of its discovery in May 2017 when it was about 16 au from the Sun. This Oort spike comet wil…
