Some peculiarities of activity for comets with orbits on 2 - 5 AU

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Periodic comets of different dynamical groups with orbits at 2 - 5 AU still occasionally active. The observed dust activity of such objects can be connected with processes of water ice sublimation (MBCs) or crystallization of amorphous water ice (QHCs) as well as with external causes. No connections of cometary flares with cyclic variations of solar activity indexes were found. But some individual solar flares can affect the brightness of comets. Cometary objects in the main asteroid belt have a lower statistic of flares than comets at orbits like quasi-Hilda objects.
