Dynamical evolution and statistics of damocloids

This paper presents a comparative analysis of two small-body populations: Damocloids and long-period comets, covering 171 and 1495 objects, respectively.It is established that, on average, Damocloids have larger perihelion distances.The inclination distributions are quite similar for both systems, with retrograde motion predominating.A striking difference is found in the comparison of perihelion concentration planes.Unlike long-period comets, the perihelia of Damocloids tend to concentrate more toward the ecliptic.In the distribution of MOID values of Damocloids and long-period comets relative to the orbits of the giant planets, excesses are observed in both groups, being more pronounced among Damocloids.
