Cometary activity beyond the planets

N Bouziani, D Jewitt - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent observations show activity in long-period comet C/2017 K2 at heliocentric distances
beyond the orbit of Uranus. With this as motivation, we constructed a simple model that takes …
