Quasi-Hilda comet

A quasi-Hilda comet (QHC) is a Jupiter-family comet that interacts strongly with Jupiter and undergoes extended temporary capture by it. These comets are associated with the Hilda asteroid zone in the 3:2 inner mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. Typically, asteroids in this zone have a semimajor axis between 3.70 and 4.20 AU, eccentricities below 0.30, and inclinations of no more than 20°.^[1] Comets can be temporarily perturbed into this group and then perturbed back out again.^[2] Eight percent of the comets that leave the 3:2 resonance end up impacting Jupiter.^[1]
