Analysis of the aphelia of 179 long period comets considering the effect of the vertical galactic tidal force
We analyze the incoming direction of 179 long period comets. We have taken into account the gravitational influence of the planets as well as the Galaxy as a whole. We have made an improvement of some previous works on the matter, including comets observed up to 1989. An asymmetry of aphelia is dete...

| Sumario: | We analyze the incoming direction of 179 long period comets. We have taken into account the gravitational influence of the planets as well as the Galaxy as a whole. We have made an improvement of some previous works on the matter, including comets observed up to 1989. An asymmetry of aphelia is detected that can not be explained as due to observational selection. We conclude that the vertical galactic tidal force gives account of the observed distribution. |
