“…The simulation and analysis of various comets' structure therefore also allows the development of a more accurate theory of their evolution. The problem of finding connections between meteor showers and their parental bodies, which include comets, is also essential Sokolova et al (); Sokolova et al (). This paper aims at producing structural data to solve the questions listed above.…”

The field of astronomy dealing with comets is an important component of modern space investigations. This applies both to the study of physical, chemical, and evolutionary parameters and to the determination of connections between meteor showers and their parental bodies. This paper considers the isodensity analysis of Arend-Roland, 45P/Honda, and Bennett comets using the measurements of photographic plates performed at Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory.On the basis of a software aimed at analyzing the brightness of digital images, structural models for three comets were developed. The isophotes of their nuclei, comas, and tails were determined as well. As the cometary nuclei are the elements of dynamical evolution and processes in the Solar Nebula, the study of a digital database on comets will allow refining the theory of their formation and evolution.
