C/1925 G1 Orkisz
more info
Comet C/1925 G1 was discovered on 3 April 1925 by Lucjan Orkisz (Astronomical Observatory at Łysina, currently Lubomir, near Kraków, Poland), that is two days after perihelion passage, and the comet was last seen on 12 May 1926 [Kronk, Cometography: Volume 3].
This comet made its closest approach to the Earth on 6 May 1925 (1.476 au), that is about one month after its discovery.
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 1.07 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 1.111 au to 5.062 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers moderate planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system that lead to escape the comet from the planetary zone on a hyperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbit).
This comet was in the original sample of 19 comets used by Oort for his hypothesis on LPCs; however, according to presented here statistics for previous perihelion passage this comet most probably is dynamically old.
