Results from a series of long-term numerical integrations of orbits centred on that of C/1995 Ol (Hale-Bopp) are presented. Initially, 33 orbits taken from various sources were integrated in realistic models of the Solar system for various time-scales about the present in the range ( − 3, + 2) Myr and analysed to assess the probability of different dynamical outcomes, such as a Sun-grazing state o...
