C/2005 G1 LINEAR
more info
C/2005 G1 was discovered on 1 April 2005 by the LINEAR as an apparently asteroidal object. Its cometary apperance was reported three days later by C. Hergenrother using 1.54-m Kuiper reflector at Catalina. Prediscovery LINEAR detections from 22 March 2005 were also found [IAUC 8504, 2005 April 4].
This comet made its closest approach to the Earth on 3 March 2006 (4.549 au), four days after its perihelion passage.
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 2.0 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 5.61 au – 4.961 au (perihelion) – 5.73 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers slight planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system.
