| Description | The dynamic properties of comets entering the planetary zone from the Oort cloud are discussed. Even a very slight influence of the large planets can trigger stochastic cometary dynamics. Multiple interactions of comets with the large planets produce diffusion of the parameters of cometary orbits and a mean increase in the semi-major axis of comets. Comets are lifted towards the Oort cloud, where collisions with stars begin to play a substantial role. The transport of comets differs greatly from the customary law of diffusion and noticeably alter cometary distribution. |
