Cometary orbital dynamics and astrometry
Abstract
An overview of research on cometary orbital dynamics and astrometry is presented, with emphasis on the nongravitational acceleration model which provides accurate orbits and ephemerides, and on new asymmetric models that represent the cometary outgassing phenomena more closely. Using a combination of long-focus telescopes, CCD detectors, microdensitometer reductions, and modern star catalogs, cometary astrometric data that are accurate to the subarcsecond level can be generated.
