| Abstract: |
The Oort cloud is the primary source of the long-period comets. We describe what is known about the population and mass of the Oort cloud, including the hypothetical inner Oort cloud; outline dynamical processes in the cloud; and summarize new simulations of the formation of the cloud. |
