C/1999 Y1 LINEAR
more info
Comet C/1999 Y1 was discovered on 20 December 1999 with Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research project, that is 3 months before its perihelion passage. Next, it was found on earlier images taken on 29 and 30 October 1999 with the same project. It was observed until 19 July 2003.
This is a comet with nongravitational effects strongly manifested in positional data fitting.
Comet had its closest approach to the Earth on 3 November 2000 (2.497 au), more than 4.5 months before its perihelion passage.
Solutions given here are based on data spanning over 3.720 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 5.60 au – 3.091 au (perihelion) – 7.91 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers moderate planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; these perturbations lead to a more tight future orbit with semimajor axis of about 3,000 au. See also Królikowska 2020.
