Description
We discuss how many comets come to short-period orbits from different sources in the outer solar system. The observed distribution of Centaurs, as a transition population, plays a pivotal role in constraining our models. We show that the Oort cloud and the scattered disc produce similar numbers of Jupiter-family comets.
