Description

Close encounters with the giant planets play an important role in the evolution of the orbits of long period comets, and have been treated in a number of papers. We revisit the subject in the framework of an analytic theory of close encounters, that provides useful insight on the properties of the strong perturbations caused by planetary encounters.
