Description
A catalog of a sample of 105 Jupiter family (JF) comets (defined as
those with Tisserand constants T>2 and orbital periods P<20yr) is
presented with our ``best estimates'' of their absolute nuclear
magnitudes HN=V(1,0,0). The catalog includes all the nuclear
magnitudes reported after 1950 until August 1998 that appear in the
International Comet Quarterly Archive of Cometary Photometric Data, the
Minor Planet Center (MPC) data base, IAU Circulars, International Comet
Quarterly, and a few papers devoted to some particular comets, together
with our own observations. Photometric data previous to 1990 have mainly
been taken from the Comet Light Curve Catalogue (CLICC) compiled by
Kamel (1991, The comet light curve catalogue/atlas. I. The compiled
observations. Uppsala Univ. Reprocentralen HSC). Most absolute nuclear
magnitudes are found in the range 15-18, with no magnitudes fainter than
HN~19.5. (1 data file).
