The orbital history of two periodic comets encountering Saturn

Two recently discovered short-period comets (P/1997 T3 (Lagerkvist-Carsenty) and P/1998 U3 (Jager)) were found, by means of numerical integrations, to have recently encountered Saturn, leading to drastic orbital changes. In both cases the orbit was transf
