Abstract:
The presented paper is an overview of the problems related to the
preferred direction, if any, in the distribution of long-period comet
perihelion points, as well as of the observational selection effects in
the comet discoveries affecting the distribution. This preferred direction
is studied with respect to the origin of comets. (The paper is, in fact,
an extract from the author's PhD dissertation dealing with this topic.)
