[en] We present a study of the evolution of the dust environment of the near-Earth Jupiter family comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak, based on observational data obtained using TRAPPIST telescopes from January to July, 2017. In addition, we performed numerical simulations to constrain its origin and dynamical nature. Along this work we compared our results with those obtained for 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These results have been recently accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
