Below is the list of comets (in order of designation) analysed by us (active links) or comets currently under consideration. New orbital solutions will be inserted systematically during the progress of our investigation.
Sample A1
This sample consists of 28 near-parabolic comets of qosc < 3.1 au and 1/aori ≤ 100 × 10-6 au-1 discovered before the year 2006. Sample A1 is very incomplete and includes about 60 per cent of all discovered LPCs that fulfil the above conditions. Almost all comets (except C/1992 J1 and C/2001 K3) from this sample have non-gravitational (hereafter NG) orbits and these NG solutions characterized by a clear decrease in root-mean-square error (rms) compared with the rms for purely gravitational (hereafter GR) orbits, only C/1974 F1 displays a slight decrease of rms for NG solution. Most comets from this sample was examined by Królikowska and Dybczyński (2010, MNRAS 404, 1886, , direct links to papers quoted here are in this page) and Dybczyński and Królikowska (2011, MNRAS 416, 51).
Sample A2
Complete sample of 22 comets of qosc < 3.1 au and 1/aori ≤ 150 × 10-6 au-1 discovered in the period 2006—2010. This sample of comets was examined in Królikowska and Dybczyński (2013, MNRAS 435, pp 440-459) and NG solutions were determined for eleven of them.
Sample B
Almost complete sample of 69 comets of qosc ≥ 3.1 au and 1/aori ≤ 100 × 10-6 au-1 discovered in the period 1970--2007; missing three comets were still observed at the beginning of 2013. The dynamical evolution of 59 comets of this sample was examined by Królikowska and Dybczyński (2010, MNRAS 404, 1886) and Dybczyński and Królikowska and (2011, MNRAS 416, 51); twelve comets from the Sample B have NG orbits. In September 2017 a few comets from this sample were updated (see references given below for Sample B2).
Sample B2
This sample of 31 comets with qosc ≥ 3.1 au plus the sample B include a complete sample of objects having qosc ≥ 3.1 au and 1/aori ≤ 200 × 10-6 au-1 discovered in the years 1901-2010; orbital solutions for 26 (discovered after 1951) are publicly available here since September 2017. The dynamical evolution of these comets within the three consecutive perihelion passages: previous–observed–next is presented in Królikowska and Dybczyński, 2017, MNRAS 472, p.4634-4658. Additionally, the Catalogue of 100 large-perihelion of near-parabolic comets is available at the CDS via http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=J/MNRAS/472/4634. Any usage of the data must include this publication as its source.
The Warsaw Catalogue of cometary orbits: 119 near-parabolic comets that consists of samples A1, A2 and B (Królikowska M., 2014, A&A 567, A126) ) where also all tables accompanying this publication are given Online; additionally the catalogue is available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/567/A126.

Sample 1901-1950-PartI
This is the New Catalogue of One-Apparition Comets discovered in the years 1901—1950. I. Comets from the oort spike prepared by Królikowska M., Sitarski G., Pittich E.M., Szutowicz S., Ziołkowski K., Rickman H., Gabryszewski R.,
and Rickman B., 2014, A&A 571, A63 .
This catalogue includes complete sample of 38 comets of 1/aori ≤ 130 × 10-6 au-1 (according to Catalogue of Cometary Orbits, Marsden B.G. and Williams G.V., 17th Ed.) discovered in the first half of the twentieth century (orbital quality class 1 and 2). All tables accompanying this publication are given Online; additionally the catalogue is available at the CDS via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/571/A63. Any usage of the data from this catalogue must include this publication as its source.
Sample Oort19
Sample of ninetheen comets used by Jan Oort to support his famous hypothesis on the existence of a spherical
cloud containing hundreds of billions of comets moving on orbits of semimajor axes between 50000 and 150000 au around the sun (ongoing project).
