Figure 1:
Backwards integration of various possible orbital elements for C/2002 R5 (SOHO). Each line represents one set of elements with a certain
,
according to the results for C/1999 R1 = 2003 R5 (SOHO). The black line indicates the orbital evolution of C/1999 R1 = C/2003 R5 (SOHO), green and blue lines represent elements with
and
,
respectively. The red lines mark the elements for
and
which show best overall agreement with C/1999 R1 = C/2003 R5 (SOHO) (see text). The x-axis of each panel represents Julian Date (JD), while the y-axis represents the Ascending Node ,
Inclination i, Perihelion Distance q and Eccentricity e, respectively. |
