文摘Since the concept of Nongravitational Force (hereafter NF) was first proposed a century and a half ago, different models of it have been suggested and being modified.

In this paper, we try to give a concise review about the different models of NF and their effects on orbit computation. And then, we will try to detect whether there is nongravitational effect on Comet Hale-Bopp’s orbital motion using Style II NF model.
