The comets of 1997
Abstract
This report is the eighth in the annual series which gives for each comet: the discovery details, orbital data and general information, magnitude parameters and BAA Comet Section observations. Further details of the analysis techniques used in this report are given in an earlier paper.1 Ephemerides for the comets predicted to return during the year can be found in the BAA or ICQ Handbooks2,3 or on the JPL Horizons web site.4 The suggestion made by Dan Green of the ICQ to drop the numeric suffix of periodic comets has been adopted in this report.
