The source of long-period comets can be numerically modeled by means of Monte Carlo simulation of the Oort cloud dynamics. Tracing a comet motion under the galactic perturbations over a long time interval requires taking into account of planetary perturbations. A method for the approximate treating of the planetary perturbations in such simulations is described. Some peculiarities found in planetary action on long-period simulated cometary sample are also discussed.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
