The comet explorers at Kyiv University took part in numerous international observational programs for study of comets: C/1973 E1 Kohoutek in 1974, 27P/Crommelin in 1984, 1P/ Halley in 1986, 23P/Brorsen-Metcalf in 1989, D/Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994, C/1996 B2 Hyakutake in 1996, C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp in 1997, C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) in 2000 and others. Two comets, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 1969 and C/1986 N1 (Churyumov-Solodovnikov) in 1986, were discovered. During 1939-2000 more than 1000 scientific papers devoted to comets were published in different journals, books and proceedings.
