Abstract: The statistical analysis of near-parabolic of comets system (n = 1177 orbits, P > 200 years) has been executed. The distributions of comet orbital elements are obtained. It has been shown that the comet perihelia have the maximum concentration within heliocentric distances r = 0.7...0.9 A.U., volume density of perihelia with the distance r = 3.5 A.U. tends to zero. Similarly, the nodes concentrate at small heliocentric distances. It has been shown that near-parabolic comets pass in the solar system predominantly through the zone of terrestrial planets. The apsides of the majority of comets make a small angle with vector of the peculiar motion of the Sun. The poles of comet orbits find out heightened concentration about both poles of the ecliptic and to the point λ = 90°, β = 53°. A system of short perihelion Kreutz comets (n = 372 orbits, q < 0.01 A.U.) has been researched separately. |
